The point is very simple. If one person, or a group of persons, is permitted to ignore the rules, then any other person, or group of persons has to be allowed to ignore the rules as well.
So another group of 30 buddies decides they want to use the neighborhood adult pool for water aerobics as well, from 9 to 10 on the days the first group is not using the pool. Next a couple of men's water volleyball teams decides they'd like to use the same pool for practice sessions since times available at the sports pool are not convenient. So they set up a net and occupy the pool daily from noon til 1 pm. Then some grandparents decide to bring their preschool grandchildren to the adult pool because it's much closer than the designated family pool. Who could object, cause it's only 2 kids and they're only here one week/year.
And so on and so forth. The concept of a neighborhood adult pool for relaxing is totally lost.
Don't really understand why the special people find this so difficult to understand.
