Everyone has to decide how best to deal with any situation and then be prepared to live with that decision. Rude obnoxious neighbors are probably best dealt with by moving, it may be a Pita but but it precludes potential escalation. When it comes to issues of safety I will not hesitate to speak up. Folks speeding through the cg will be asked nicely, once, to slow down. Failing at that I go straight to the hosts and or rangers with my concerns and have gotten results every time.
At a large RV park in Pennsylvania several unsupervised young (5 to 8 year old), girls thought the mens restroom was a playground running in and out screaming at the top of their lungs. Beyond the fact that there was no way I was going to use the facilities while this went on I was very concerned for their safety. I notified the staff reminding them that very bad things can happen to little girls in such an environment. The park manager came to our site shortly thereafter, profusely apologized and assured us it would not happen again. He then had lengthy chat with mom and dad.
Another safety issue we have had to deal with are unattended campfires. On more than one occasion I have had to knock down or drown out an unattended fire or call up on the host/rangers to do so.
The point is there are worse things than loud obnoxious drunks and barking dogs but that does not make them any more tolerable. It is not my job to enforce the rules of the cg but I have no problem brings safety issues to the attention of those whose job it is.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV
