GKTERA,
IMO, no one has yet to unequivocally lay to rest the possibility the small group of "haters" is connected to LLEG's competition. From my perspective this group has nothing to gain unless it is being "subsidized" by an entity which would might benefit having LLEGs public image tarnished or at least LLEG’s supporters confused.
This is why I have stopped trying to reason or searching for information to clarify things, is because IMO at this point the only source of worth while information will be coming directly from LLEG and Berlin’s local governing body. IMO, the fact that the process is this far along speaks for itself.
The level of effort exerted by the "opposition" up to now, IMO, is too great to be simply people voicing their right to free speech. There has got to be something more to it than simply opposition based on the "aesthetics" of downtown Berlin.
When I fail to see a litigate argument I tend to believe the expenditure of an almost 24/7 effort at times, must be driven by financial gain. The question is “who will gain by mudding the waters?” I believe I have come across a few candidates in my research, but like I said,
JMO,
