hahah no he's not because i get along with mine, all i was trying to do 
is get the idea across of "introspection"--to make sure his motives are 
clean. i don't like the way he got so upset at me, it's a red flag that 
something else is happening. i did try and be supportive in the first 
half of my reply. i always try to think outside the box of calling the 
police.

my neighbors:

1) kid with quad, noisy sometimes. oh well.
2) kid with dirt bike. ditto.
3) adult woodworker, lots of saws, occasional large projects. ditto.
4) lots of screaming kids.
5) angry teen with boom-boom stereo in car.

it's called life...

#5 was the worst by far. he was random with it, fighting with his dad, 
and ended up his dad just stop talking to him about it. the kid is a 
football player, twice his dad's size. very mean and angry, tatoos, 
police issues. it went on for three months, on and off. the police just 
wouldn't do anything. finally he moved out.

during that time i ended up moving my workspace to the back of the house 
and closing the door. should i have to do that? no, but it beat the hell 
out of the dumb kid bugging me all day. it was my choice.

the baseball bat replies bothered me the most. if someone came on my 
property with a baseball bat, they'd leave on a stretcher with a third 
eye...and the law would back me up for doing it.
