OP, I imagine if this thread was more like ...
"... anyone ever have a neighbor that hated your car and you feel like you're being mostly respectful of the neighborhood, wtf did you do ..."
... many would have likely raised their hands, and offered some advice. (Not the trolls, they probably would have told you to eat a cock, or to do a burnout in front of the house) Hell when I had the Evo my down the street neighbor fucking hated it because of the exhaust, and complained to our HOA. No big deal, he was a crotchety old fuck and it didn't bother me beyond that. What I didn't do was annoy the rest of the neighborhood into agreeing with him by reinforcing his primary complaint(say bouncing off rev limiter, and popping my recirculating but still noticeable BOV, up and down our streets).
Anyways you'll find that people "back down" as they grow up. Usually to avoid unsavory reprocussions, like jail, which leads to loss of employment, which leads to divorce because your wife can't believe how fucking dumb you acted, and how broke you've become from the jail and loss of job, which leads to spousal or child support, court fees, and all kinds of terrible shit. Not to defend any keyboard warrioring that occurs, just advising.
