This is from a guy that apparently despises livestock of any type and drives a BMW. I am not familiar with a hatred of livestock and love for BMW's being "country" attributes.
Eddie,
I have read many of your posts and truly respect and admire you. You would make a great neighbor. I don't think anyone (including me) is judging this neighbor by the car he drives, but by the words he has spoken. But let's look at this objectively. He speaks of "city folk" trying to blend into "country life" yet he is the one with the beemer. Maybe it's different out there, but here in the northeast, "country folk" just don't drive beemers. It doesn't mean anything mean or deragatory, it's just a fact. The only beemers around here are from "city folk." How many 4wd F-350's with a steel flat bed do you see in the city? Not many, unless it's a contractor. Around here, that's daily transportation.
We have the same problem around here, hence in my signature, "If they call it tourist season, how come we can't shoot them." People come up here from the city, move next to a dairy farm, then want it closed down because of the cow manure smell. Now mind you most of my dearest friends are from the city, but they are not like that. It's the bad ones that make a bad name for the good ones.
As far as being "arrogant and displeased" by his view being ruined, displeased I could see, but arrogant? I'm sure this neighbors house "ruined" someone elses "view" also. And, a "view" is not a right. If you have one, great. If someone buys a piece of property and puts up a house on it in your view, too bad. Deal with it.
