Toilet War on Little Pond public camp. To Carole Fraser Opened Letter.

This is e-mail from New York State Department public lands 
Hello *********
Thank you for speaking with me today about your request for accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. As I explained on the phone, we usually do not allow people to use the portable toilets or structures other than tents and campers.  However, since Mr. Buzzelli had offered to consider special circumstances in your case, I called to talk to you about that. As I explained, we would like for you to have a letter, that explains the accommodations that we agree on, so that you can continue to go camping.  You told me that you did not want a letter and you did not want to discuss any accommodations further.
If you reconsider, please let us know.

 Sorry, I really still do not get the explanation. If this so then why it is not in rules we all do have to sing when we come to camp? What wrong with portable toilet?
At the same time Ms. Fraser ask me if I can put this toilet in tent. So, then I can use it? What is difference if it is outside tent but under the same tarp?

Really, what is wrong with my set up?
     Still, it is war, and now for what  I am prohibited? and why?
 
"From Environmental Conservation Law Part 190 8 (w) No person shall erect, construct, install, maintain, store, discard or abandon any structure or any other property on State lands or subsequently use such structure or property on State lands, except if the structure or property is authorized by the department or is:
(1) a geocache that is labeled with the owner’s name and address and installed in a manner that does not disturb the natural conditions of the site or injure a tree;
(2) a camping structure or equipment that is placed and used legally pursuant to this Part;"

What is important that she try to present I ask about special accommodations. I do not ask about anything special. What I ask is, send me mail that my portable toilet cannot be used on public lands. It is so simple. 
Now, there is another issue. 

"I believe that we have the ability to authorize the use of your equpiment but it must be done in writing from the Albany office so you could use the letter for future camping. If you reconsider, please let me know and I will draft up the letter you willl need.  I am working out of the office tomorrow and Friday."
 What I do believe, they do not have this authorization. How this authorization can fit into Americans With Disability Act?  That I have to go where Ms. Fraser let my go? Sorry. It does not work in this way. She  has no such authority. It is she, who must work out the way that I can live well. At least she said so.
Next what I wish to say, there must be rules that campers cannot use portable toilets, and these rules must be enforced to all campers. So, campers with little one should not be on public lands. Dogs. No dogs. Ms. Carole Fraser suggested to me that I can book sites away from water. But there is no rules that campers cannot book sites around water if they bring pets, dogs, or have little one.  So, why it is only for me that I have to ask letter how to camp? I follow all rules. But Little Pond camp ranger is abusive person. I think she is unhappy. This is why she come to our site to start this war. What I wish to ask Albany Office, is this really true that any staff has right to get in communication with campers outside their duty? I do not think so. There is perfect time to shine. My tent. My private cabin.
Usually it is under tarp. But when tarp put down tent and cabin stay apart. Well, if I will use this cabin to cover firewood, then it is OK as I hope.  If I do use my portable toilet in tent, then it is also OK, as Carole Fraser said. What I cannot do is, put them together.Sorry, still not able to get why?
     On Little Pond late in night in deep darkness there is light around my tent, and footsteps. It is Catskills, it is Black Bear country. My man is out of site, went to take shower in public building. I scared to Death.
       It is not Black Bear. It is camp ranger sneaking around. Only in Catskills. No one in Adirondack. They do the same job, but without scaring campers.
      It is easy to see, we do not injury trees. Our tarp is on the top of tent and on the top of cabin. My man has set up camp without my help, so we use as easy way as we can. No one camp ranger see how tarps and nails injury trees. No one pay any attention for the sites on opposite road where human wast all around.  Why state Department so active in my toilet deal and no any attention to the cleanses around camps and on closer to the hiking spots?  I think it would be better if camp ranger clean all around the camp, so she know better if my toilet benefit to cleanness or destroy public lands.
So simple, just send her to clean up all dirty spots on Little Pond, so she would see difference between go-bushes and using portable toilets.
