We are snowbirds and hang at Spanish Springs. This guy is part of the fun and ambience and certainly isn't harming anyone although he may be loud sometimes (vocally and visually)...sigh!
"Mark" may seem a very nice, but his actions can be very startling and disrupting. Certainly he knows that his "antics" (for lack of a better word) are what brings him the looks and comments that upset him. Like an alcoholic or a drug addict who knows their triggers, if they want to avoid negative effects they need to find alternative activities and entertainment to the ones that trigger the negative behavior.
So, if "Mark" is at the square and acting out, he is fully aware that he is doing it (startling people and being disruptive).
