Of course, out of respect for the band and the audience, the only acceptable and enforceable number is zero screams per hour.

We tried Spanish Springs again last night, unfortunately, the Screamer was there showing his disrespect worse than ever. If The Villages wants to revitalize Spanish Springs, perhaps they should begin by silencing the Screamer.

If you agree that zero screams per hour is the correct limit, please let the officials at the square know your feelings.

Go to Sumter Landing.

After he leaves the square, the degree of visual and auditory stimulation is greatly reduced. Possibly that is why his behavior changes.

Concluding he can turn it on and off at will is a naive conclusion.

Wonderful you have avoided the common long-term effects. Others have not been so lucky.

Why should audience members who respect others desire to listen to the entertainment be chased away by one disrespectful person?

If the visual and auditory stimulation is so disturbing, why does he go to the square? Much more likely just seeking attention ... at others expense.

Interesting article. Reading carefully, it seems safer than cigarettes and alcohol with a possible effect on memory, concentration, and motivation which could result in poor grades or poor work performance. As a retired person who is not taking classes, there isn't much risk to me.

Not sure about safer than smoking, but I suspect you are right about alcohol. Definitely shouldn't be a controlled substance. But, that's a subject for a different thread.

It seems that TV crack medical team has this figured out...

Wait, what? None of them are actual doctors?

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).

I got the impression he was screaming because he is enjoying the music not to upset other people.

Good for you!

Now, back to our regularly scheduled discussion, "The Screamer".

He may be. But he does upset others and is obviously aware of the responses he receives. So?

So. We have to put up with the eccentricities of others in public places like the Villages' Squares.
