Mr. Shuman, COER is a small local activist group who protest the jet noise occurring at a practice landing strip 10 miles (as the seagull flies) south of the main air station.
The bloggers here who are arguing and accusing you of helping them is along the same lines as them giving this COER group attributes of mythological proportions.
Their depiction of this group as being a giant evil monster engaged in a grand secretive and sinister plot to rid the Island of the Navy forever is truly for the birds.
Really Mr. Shuman, they're just a small rag tag group of locals just trying to have their thoughts heard, that's all. Not to be taken too threatening.
Beware of crackpot theories here.
