It is a good question but the answer still might have been "**** you

I agree we would like to believe that a more civil exchange might have
had a better outcome.

I have asked people in our neighborhood who they were and what they
were doing in our pavilion a number of times without incident but some
of my neighbors think I am crazy for doing it.

I have thought about carrying my flashlight/zapper.

Pavilion? As in...dance pavilion? Gazebo? I'm not familiar with the use
of that word in reference to a neighborhood. Elucidate, if you don't mind.
