Thanks for your kind words and for reading my article, Brendan - to be completely honest, I was nervous to even publish this in fear of any potential backlash, which is always somewhat inevitable on any writing platform, but I'm glad you shared some positivity.

It really is unfortunate when these things do happen and it's hard to tell in the moment exactly what to do. I just hope it doesn't become a regular thing, especially now that I've officially planted roots in this neighborhood.

Crossing my fingers that things get better...
