I don't know any of the participants here and have no " dog in this fight"... Simonb has it right... The person who purchased the resort and spent many many hours trying to improve it, CERTAINLY has the right to make their own rules. If those rules "cost" the sale of a few beers to the locals; that's the "fun" of having an investment.

A little known fact... Women who are overweight tend to live longer than men who mention it...
