Has anyone thought to drug-test this judge?</description>

		<description>I found it refreshing that this was a case of rich people behaving badly. The Harrisons are a piece of work, threatening battery (isn&#039;t that technically assault, or is Canadian law different?) and hurling insults. But Boggs and Hart aren&#039;t much better; nitpicking about rules, filing trivial complaints, and we all know he called her &quot;fat&quot; don&#039;t we?

The judge did a good job; justice was served.</description>

		<description>&gt;So the gay couple had valid reasons. They were not simply being “bitchy queens”, as you said.

We all know that it&#039;s more than possible to break someone&#039;s stones while staying well within the rules. It just means that they are *clever* bitchy queens. ;-)</description>

		<description>Good post, Bubbafrombama

As if straight neighbors never haggle and harass each other over stupid, nit picky things. The condo association called my mother while I was visiting; a straight neighbor complained that she&#039;d seen me walk in with two small dogs. &quot;That&#039;s not right!&quot; since the condo association only allows owners to have *one* dog living there.

Oy!!!!!</description>

		<description>This is actually funny.  If they were harassed simply for being gay, then all th christianity comments here are valid.  It seems we do not know.

However, I would hate to live next to these hets...trampoline????...trashy!..unattended children....annoying breeders letting their kids run roughshod on the neighborhood....basketball hoop?  OK, maybe not so bad but seems against bylaws, and a bit ghetto like if you ask me.

It seems I wouldn&#039;t like that neighbor...but then i would never live in a condo, for these exact reasons.  I&#039;ve heard so many horror stories about misbehaving neighbors and the ubiquitous &quot;condo nazi&quot; that gets off by turning them all in....</description>

		<description>There are many things I wish I could change, but being a Canadian, and a gay male I&#039;m proud when articles like this come around.

Oh Canada, yes indeed :)</description>

    *

      Why do so many of you JUMP to conclusions when you read an article on this site that’s not even decently typed? Read the FULL article. Get this:

      “Still, he added, he did not award greater damages because “to a limited extent” the men had provoked the Harrisons.

      Before the conflict descended to the lowest and worst of the personal attacks, “there existed rational reasons” for the family to resent Boggs and Hart.

      They were apparently responsible for triggering the removal of the Harrisons’ basketball hoop, their trampoline, and the glass sound barrier, flower pots and furniture from the front veranda. The Harrisons were forced to reduce the size of their back deck, to stop burning wood in their fireplace and to provide adult supervision for their children in the pool.”

      This reminds me of 2 bitchy queens, not sensible gay men. I’d be a bit pissed if 2 men moved in and DEMANDED all of those changes, and got what they wanted. I agree with the judge that they did attempted to provoke the heterosexual couple.

      I do want to make it clear that although I believe in the right to freedom of speech and expression, I do NOT believe that we have any right to harass people. However, I tend to believe that the straight couple isn’t as “homophobic” as 365gay is attempted to make this sound. I love this site, but it’s hugely biased lately.

      BTW, I’m gay, and HUGE liberal.&quot;

First off: Why do you say that these two gay men maybe deserved it when what probably happened is they read the bylaws of the condo association and saw that these people had violated the bylaws and reported it to them. That could be why they had to remove all that crap:ie basketball hoops, trampolene etc....
Second: If they live there and are paying monthly maintence dues, I would hope that they are afforded the same extra spac that this couple apparently took over that more than likely is not even their space.
So, maybe you should think about all the facts befoe you blast someone for standing up for what is right and legal.
There, off my soap box, for now.</description>
