        i know that

        I posted this same story on another message board i have frequented for the past 15 years and every response felt the same as i did.

        So yeah, it's because of my reputation on this site that i get the responses i do.

          Trespassing is exactly what you were doing. I probably would be guilty of it as well, given what you described.

          Let's look at it from their side. Maybe they have been offended that for the last 12-13 years that you have taken it upon yourself to use their property as you see fit. Does the size of the property really matter? Or for that matter what is on or not on their property? Why do you get to be the judge and jury on how their property should be used? How would you feel if I walked my dog up your driveway around your house to the backyard and just walked around?

          You state that they could have phrased it in a more friendly manner. It could be this is as "friendly" as they feel to your rudeness. As far as calling you or meeting you face to face, some people do not like confrontation. Maybe they do not know how you will react to their request. I would also add that they owed you no explanation (ownership change) but did give you the reason. It is implied that if ownership had not changed they would not have requested you to stop using their property.

          What happens if someone gets hurt on their property? If you fell down and badly broke your leg, would you expect their insurance to pay for your doctor bills?
          I am easily offended true. That's because the world is full of assholes !

          And it makes for interesting conversation on this site!

            Of course I have looked at it from their point of view...and i would have handled it much friendlier.

            And i am surprised it took this long for someone to mention the "accident" thing. of course i wouldn't expect them to cover any accident i might have had.

              Have you tried asking the new owners' permission? Do you know them?
              That would have looked better

              I don't know the new owners. i didn't know the former owner. the family has owned the property for decades.

                  Sorry, I didn't find it funny

                  Implying that a little dog crap can lead to tires and batteries didn't strike me as humorous...sorry.

                      Just goes to show Mith is a uniter, not a divider. Even elD and I agree on this one.
                      I'm just here for the baseball.

                        Maybe you said this earlier in the thread, but do you (well did you) clean up after your dog?
                        Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                              Ah, you didn't get it. I was implying that the property was so big that no one notice, so big that I even took dump there.

                              It was then that I swung it around to the notion that we could/should be allowed to throw our trash there. Again because it was so big, which has nothing to do with the trespassing at all.

                                And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
