Yet you're willing to call other people ridiculous even though you know
nothing about them.

Thats' not true, Warren. I did not call you ridiculous. . It was your
negative personal **comments** about me that I termed ridiculous.



I think we're finding out far more about who you really are than you
think. For example you've made it quite clear that you only want people to
agree with your perspective.

That is not true either. I welcome opinions that are presented politely. I
have done so many times in this thread. But when someone attackes me
personally, I reserve the right to speak out.



You won't even entertain viewpoints different than your own, and quickly
dismiss them.

Wrong again. Many people have said that I should remove the plants, but I
did not dismiss either them or their views.


. From everything you've said in this thread so far, I'm sure your
neighbors have been walking on eggshells hoping not to be called
unreasonable or ridiculous simply for having a valid, but different
viewpoint than you.

Wrong again. (You're on a roll.) Even when their canoe was leaned against
my fence, I did not complain. My opinion is that they can do whatever they
wish on their property.



Of course you could just present yourself poorly, and you really are a
reasonable person who is willing to view things from other perspectives.
But that's not who we're seeing.

That may be what you are seeing, but that's not the response I got from most
people. I have already agreed to trim the vines, for example - a point that
you continually overlook. And I have not objected to most of the people who
said I should remove the plants. But then, those are the people who said it
politely - without the personal attacks.

Nice chatting with you. Have a nice day!
