Love how this has evolved into porn.

There are some very valid points from all angles here. Those who have kids definitely understand where Im coming from and those without kids dont. I can understand that I have to look at it from his perspective and from what Ive heard from board members who have sat down with him and talked, he thinks I let my kids run around the house and kick the baseboards just to annoy him. Without ever being in my house you'll have to take my word but its impossible to even touch the baseboards against his our ajoining walls and 2) what parent would honestly just let their kids kick the walls? Not me. Maybe I didnt convey it properly but I think the basis for his noise is out of spite and retaliation. Ive tried to extend the olive branch, he hasnt. Ive taken note of some very good ideas contained in this thread, including going back to watching porn. I had no idea it would cause such a discussion, but Im glad I got opinions from both the understanding and the assholes (said in the most respectful way possible).

...back to your regularly scheduled rants and raves
