The article states, "After receiving eight anonymous complaints in the last three years..."

I, for one, am always suspect of people that make such "anonymous complaints."

If one is hellbent on making a complaint and hoping for damage, then don't be a fuckwad and remain "anonymous." Have some balls and give a full account, including your name, etc.

the more million-dollar condos are built, the more 'disturbia' our neighborhoods becomes. sad & true!

If you don't like it enough, then go somewhere else. There are plenty of bars that are more "tactful".

People who want to go to the Eagle go there because they are looking for that kind of atmosphere.

Although that Bareback night sounds pretty fucked up.

You know, the bar is for adults. Every adult I know who goes to the Eagle knows that they're going there because it has a distinct personality, awesome music, and exposure to one other facet of the gay community. The fact that sexuality and alcohol are mixed together is not a fucking surprise and what is so stupid about Washington State laws is that they are treating patrons like children. The crackdown on the pornography on the walls is so ridiculously targeted that it makes me wonder WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE IN THE SPD WHO ARE SO FIXATED ON GAY PORN THAT THEY DEVOTE SO MUCH TIME TO INVESTIGATING IT?

Does anyone know how these laws could be changed or reworded so that this type of wording doesn't treat patrons like they need to be protected by the etiquette brigade???

So what else is new? The Eagle is a Man's "institution" it is part of our culture. Seattle should think long and hard before tamperding with something going back so very far in hour history.

Ok Eagle, yes maybe you should cool it for a little while. Don't press the issue to far.
