There are few things that give me more satisfaction in life than spending my free time giving people like this a mental breakdown. View attachment 264712
Unless a threat is made it’s civil. I am bigger than him and he never crosses the line of a physical threat.Sounds like harassment...jurisdictional for rural LEO's? I'm sure you've already determined tho.
Maddeningly unsettling waiting for a kook like that to snap.Unless a threat is made it’s civil. I am bigger than him and he never crosses the line of a physical threat.
Nope, and it would undermine my argument with the smell from the pot farm 800 yards away. That is a whole nother story.Are you by chance upwind from this dikfor?
I truly don’t know. The story changes. First it was me target practicing. So he set timers and started firing the at 5 min intervals every time someone visited. I got a membership at the gun range to stop my part which was minimal and legal.
Then it was me farming my property and driving on the other neighbors when I made my turns.
Then it was draining water off my field. I did not do anything but disc the area cleared to plant it.
Then it was when my GSP chased his loose chickens on my property across to his.
Then it was my kids being noisy while they played outside with their friends.
Need I go on?
Chit yeah. Outta sight outta mind. Fill them puppies up with some expandable foam and you've got a sound barrier too.
He kinda reminds me of various ranchers I know.
Likely he thinks you're the a-hole, these various interactions for any reasonable person are totally benign... any reasonable person wouldn't even notice.
He's clearly not reasonable, and given the above list I'm assuming sees his property as sacrosanct.
In these situations being in the right doesn't matter. I mean it might matter in a court of law, might matter to you, but in the context of navigating this relationship you have to realize that he thinks he's right, and likely to an absurd degree.
My conjecture, and obviously arm chairing at a distance, the most frustrating and yet probably most effective way to deal with the issue is just to capitulate.
He wants an apology for all the slights, anything you say to try explain mitigating circumstances will likely just piss him off. I think in large part folks miss the point of an apology, it's not to 'atone' for what you think you did wrong, the point is to make the aggrieved party feel better/heard.
"I'm sorry my dog chased your chickens, clearly I was negligent in not keeping him restrained. I will talk to my kids about being more considerate of others in public... yada yada..."
Clearly the dude is a huge dick/ piece of work, but I imagine if you apologize for all the things he's frustrated about, regardless of how you feel about them, you might be able to de-escalate the problem.
I think that's the route you'd have to go to bury the hatchet.
Up to you whether that is a bridge to far, and it legitimately might be... me I would just put myself in the mind set that I'm trying to talk down a toddler and just try to put an end to it. Folks can only get to you it you give them the right.

but yeah all that being said #*^@#* that guy
If it was one sticking point I would agree, but if it’s a dozen things it will just continue.
Sadly Addicting only has three options (1) find a way to ignore and hope the guy gets bored with the games; (2) do what the last seller did - move to a new place; or (3) tit for tat that at best will destroy any enjoyment of living there and at worst will result in violence. If it were me, I would try (1) for a while and that didn’t work advance to (2). Life is too short to waste it on (3).
The finer points of selling drugs? You want Ten Crack Commandments by The Notorious B.I.G.I was going to recommend something similar I think some gangster rap discussing the finer points of selling drugs, committing drive bys, and every other word being F*** but that’s just me
Nope, from what I’ve learned she was a hot mess too. She swindled the property thru an affair of sorts. Lots of resentment with the other neighbors and they were glad to see her go and us move in.Can you call the last owner and ask for background?
I’ve made it very clear to my family that this is not our forever home. Unfortunately, we love the school district and my kids have become friends with the other neighbors so until they are done with school, we have decided to stay.If it was one sticking point I would agree, but if it’s a dozen things it will just continue.
