    So you do support the neighbor's right to free speech?

    Meh, the neighbors said they have some houses for sale. Not difficult to figure out who it is. Narrow minded? How so? Being concerned with property values is practical.

    Funny how patterns emerge:
    Criticizing BLM=racist
    Asking one to clarify their position=flamebaiting.

    Of course, but that doesn't make what they did any less creepy, arrogant, entitled and wrong - like people screaming at cops about frying them like bacon.

    Indeed.
    Possibly.
    Bizarre interpretation.

    So writing a polite letter making a reasonable request is the same as calling for murder? Wow just wow.

    You did what you did. I asked for simple clarification and you started yelling flamebait. No need to dodge the question, just answer it.

    So some folks think this letter is racist except there is ZERO proof of racism here.

    Some folks think asking to remove a sign is oppression of free speech except they are ASKING, not even demanding.

    Some folks think the letter sender is cowardly for not signing their name. There is a case to made for that except this letter made the news and in today's cancel culture who blames them for not signing their name.

    All in all this story is a nothing burger. Putting a sign in the window? Meh, support Nazis if you want. Sending a letter? LOL! Not a big deal.

    How long did it take for that letter to be posted on social media? How long would it take for the BLM and Antifa anarchist to get there had their names been on it?
