I keep musing over ifor's statement that there are two options: Fighting or talking. I'm beginning to suspect there are much more important options: in behavior (and restraint). Maybe lots of little things, like not shutting off water supplies to high tech greenhouses (and thousands of other little examples between these neighbors, probably), are not being attended to properly, DESPITE the talking and screaming and threats and posturing.

I'm just saying ~maybe~ and thowing it out there. This is all still very mysterious to me after a lifetime of reading it.
