Whats the difference between harassment and freedom of speech? Between neighbors?

Neighbors are verbally abusive, so it makes one slip, once and a while. Never ending situation.

    I cannot say where exactly freedom of speech ends and harassment begins. However, I do know that my freedom ends exactly where someone else's begins.

    Maybe your neighbors are not aware of this very sensitive and tenuous border. Therefore, I would suggest that you try to have a nice polite I was abou to say "diplomatic"!) conversation with them to let them know that you are not comfortable with (or that you are even offended by)their verbal abuse. In case this does not work and they persist, there will always be the police to talk to!

    You may be able to file a restraining order on them. Or you can sell your house and move away.
