Saturdays post about the noise bylaw seems to have evoked some passion. "Slick Skillet" sent this reply:

This is great!! I knew there was no stipulation to the time of day for the excessive noise. Upon further review of the by-law, it is also apparent that loud chatter at god-awful times of day especially on weekends are also covered (3 Prohibitions By Time and Place Table 3.1 section 6). Hopefully, this limits the effectiveness of our TOWN CRIER!!!!!!!
Not quite sure what the point is here. Perhaps someone is chattering loudly during the evening hours. Maybe it's the "Town Crier". Perhaps Slick Skillet can elaborate as this would make for another good anecdote.
The interesting thing here is that we have a clear example that knowledge of the bylaw is a good thing. At least Slick Skillet has found it empowering. Interesting and befitting moniker. Isn't there a story about Josephine pommeling Napoleon with skillet? Or was that a cartoon?

Actually, that was a cast-iron frying pan that he evidently put a nice ding into which in fact, gave him the idea to put an image of himself on coins!! Moral: Cementheads are not as totally useless as some would have you believe.
I miswrote however and should have cited section 17 rather than 6.... It fits like a glove if we are allowed to view the TOWN CRIER (as many of us do) as a "...domestic pet...." My point however is that it shouldn't take city by-laws to enforce the obvious; that a little respect towards you neighbours goes a long way. Incessant bickering at all hours of the day is uncalled for as is cranking the tunes to test the soundproofness of a room.... A little common-sense is apparently too much to ask for
