From the person you responded to:
> "Well I was worried for the children!". Unless they openly confessed it was because you cut the lawn wrong or they don't like the color of your house, there is nothing you can do to them
My initial thought is that I'd rather have the asshole who hates the way I cut my lawn. I can turn him into a friend. Hell, I can just start cutting my lawn the way he wants.
But the person who is convinced that rapists lurk behind every parked car will be incredibly difficult to convert. They might never agree with me that my kid is as safe riding their bike home from school as they are riding in a car with me.
