There was a post last week on a similar theme. One member posted a well written response to all the "suffer through the obnoxious behaviour" and don't make waves segment. That post basically stated that when you do not bring their bad/rude/bothersome actions to the violators attention, you are giving them permission to continue their offensive actions.
So what is over the top bad behaviour and what is an excessive response? That is an individual's decision. All are entitled to their opinion of another's reactions.
There is a big difference between "start your truck and turn on your high beams at midnight because some other campers were talking too loud" and "suffer through the obnoxious behavior and don't make waves". I think most people here would have cheered the OP on if he hadn't resorted to a childish action that escalated the issue (mostly by becoming a problem camper himself to others in the campground).
I am a firm believer for stand up for your rights, don't let others walk all over you, etc., but I don't believe that one bad behavior should be responded to with another bad behavior.
