A lesson in life that nothing is free anymore.

And that life's not fair. Boo-hoo-hoo.

Isn't there an old adage about strong fences and good neighbers?

I'm troubled by the pink paint, though.

Give it a rest. I quoted your nonsense, you backtracked, let's drop it, shall we?

You made his 'quote' up out of whole-cloth. You are intellectually dishonest.

How I would handle that would depend on the laws in the venue in which it occured, and if I found you engaged in violating my privacy, I would take whatever legal steps were available in that venue. I would find no form of legally available relief, under either criminal or civil statutes, to be too extreme to invoke in protecting my privacy.

Under the scenario he offered you, would you consider shooting him?

(mine)NEVER said I had rights to your property, only that I have the right to build a deck on MY property.

(mine)I'm not a hothead, just defending my rights as a property owner. If I don't, who will? You're the one making threats...

Give it a rest. I quoted your nonsense, you backtracked, let's drop it, shall we? I don't appreciate you obsessing on me (which should have been obvious to you from the first time you claimed a right to my property)

Where? Give the number of the post where I used the words 'I have equal rights to your property.'

If you can't put up... SHUT UP and stop twisting the words of people to suit your needs.... course that may be hard for you to do... habits being hard to break and all.

To: wacko
At this point, I am unclear as to what exactly you want from him. Perhaps he is too. Maybe, maybe not, I don't know. If you don't like his links, what would you take? What would seem just to you?

I have conceded repeatedly that abuses can exist in Eminent Domain law. I would like to see him concede that Eminent Domain law is in force, is morally neutral, and is the product of the Founding Fathers.

But I think it has gone somewhat beyond that. Yah has threatened by implication to go after one_particular_harbour in real life, and he has gotten increasingly unbalanced, to the point that many members of the forum are starting to pile on the guy. I think he may not possess the temperment that allows him to participate in the forum in a positive and effective manner. People who are unable to participate in the forum in a positive and effective manner are commonly known as 'disruptors'. On Usenet they are called 'trolls'.

The people are not dumb

They dropped 300 grand on property that was alleged to to be lakefront, but wasn't. Anyone who spends THAT kind of money on real property without bothering to get a detailed survey so that they know exactly where the property line is fits the description of "foolish."

Someone unscrupulous came along who invested $1000, with purpose of making $300,000 from it not by doing work, but by making life so uncomfortable for them that they'd pay it

In actuality, he offered to sell the parcel to the homeowners. In return, the survey stakes denoting his property boundaries were thrown in the lake. After that, he put up the fence. One homeowner is in negotiation to buy the parcel. He seems to be the only person who understands tha

Taking it to a court of law, to see if there is legal remedy is not force

But throwing survey stakes into the lake is. And so is torching the fence, as some nitwits here have recommended.

I do not believe the judge would rule on his side

Your beliefs are irrelevant. He has the legal right (and, given our litigious society, probably a legal duty) to put up a fence to keep people out of the lake.

If the judge did, I would move

Translation: you'd move to a place that would let you steal other people's property as it suited you.

Would you remain and pay this guy $30,000?

I'd try bargaining over the purchase price. I wouldn't throw the survey stakes in the lake. I sure as hell wouldn't engage in arson as some Freepers have suggested.

Why stop there when you can burn my house down and nail my hand to my keyboard?

Dinsdale did. He was a cruel man, but fair.
