What I think is that discussing the character of a specific individual who
may or may not be on this list is inappropriate.

A community of four households is very small...to work it would be
imperative that everyone gets along and has shared values. Sounds like this
isn't the case here.  Asking whether we think, based on your description,
that one of the participants is right or wrong, doesn't help in any way.
 Even if we all unanimously agreed that he's wrong and you're right, how
will this help your situation?
