It sure is amazing how the experts that are not on the strip or in the area come to the rescue of this rogue operator, no real knowledge of the situation that is happening and defend him at all costs WHY,we are here and see all the problems first hand (but hey you must not talk to each other about it as that is piss***g them off) but we do expect a few wan***s to support as they have not got the safety aspect in there mind (just jump,dance or whatever) I suppose that is in the nature of the divers as they jump off towers,bridges and the like that is also mostly illegal (some do get permission) as they get a thrill bugger anybody elses safety I am OK jack.

The APF surely must not be condoning this attitude, if it does well what do you do to get things back to a safe condition?

1./ Stop jumping through cloud cover.
2./ Jump in another spot that does not have any conflicting traffic,as you stated a while back people here have tried to help in another location.
3./ Educate the divers about the rights of others to survive and not be hit by a jumper under canopy or worse in free fall. In either case aircraft and diver will be fighting to survive it.
