That's fine, be THAT way. It's certainly not my place to instruct you on good manners. I've got the time and the freedom to seek out neighbors who get MY approval. In other words, if my camping neighbor pulls a stunt like that, I pack up and go to another place. BOF flock together. There's room for everyone. The trick is to be a happy camper.
I'm sorry I don't really know what you are getting at? So you pack up and leave every time a neighbor does something that you don't approve of? So do you interview your new prospective neighbors to see if they meet your high standards before you setup next to them? LOL Do you ever, you know..just like..camp and not worry so much. Life is short, dont sweat the petty things. Go out and enjoy nature
To this, I want to say, do NOT complicate something that's simple. But, I'll go ahead and attempt to explain:
Some of us have better manners than others. If I find myself in a place where a person's manners makes it uncomfortable for ME, I can either waste my time trying to "educate them", or I can solve MY problem. And, at the next location, I do NOT interview my new camping neighbors. I first take my chances, and try again. I have discovered that this system works for ME.
Now, if I'm planning to build a brick house on my lot, HECK YES I will "interview" the nearby neighbors. And, based on my findings, I will either go ahead and build the house, OR I will sell the lot. This system also works for ME.
Great answer!! Couldn't said it better
