These people will no doubt now be bad mouthing you left right and centre

will be an obvious lie but these people will be prepared to justify their
action as being of benefit to you. They don't care about your hurt, just
getting their own way.


Sorry, but aren't you a bit quick? This sort of reasoning on other
people's behalf (and I mean both Robert and his neigbours here) can very
quickly escalate to war since whatever a person does, even if in good
faith, will be interpreted as a further aggression.
