Oft quoted but fitting:“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
Ayn (or John or Dagny or Hank or the real Mr. D’Anconia) would never use such a coarse insult. In fact, they’d all have much more important things to do than bother with things like insulting people on the internet.
You’re just incredibly bad at being a Randian, aren’t you?
The OP himself admitted that there’s no proof that the neighbor in question is the one littering on his property. Calling the police is a gross overreaction.
That thread reminds me of the poster who thinks that people who live in apartments shouldn’t wear shoes or use a ceiling fan!
Yeah, but you could say this to any OP. In fact, I can imagine you probably will:

Oh, man, there’s this guy at my office, and he microwaves fish for lunch.

Kneejerk response:
[QUOTE=D’Angry]
I know that guy, and he doesn’t work with you. In fact, can you prove you don’t work with all women, in a guy-less office?
And you’re going to have to post the model number of that microwave, so I can insinuate that I have ways of knowing that a single serving size piece of salmon (or any whitefish currently available to the American public) would NOT be able to fit in that microwave.
And who calls the cops for a fish smell? Please don’t waste law enforcement resources on such trivia.
