So what you mean, is that if some of your other neighbours should not
mind your loud parties with drunk yelling guests (maybe even be one),
that would be ok to have the partys even if all others would mind.
Just because not everybody oppose to it and maybe even like it?

You should do as the custom is on the group you are posting on, bottom
post where it's ask for and top post in groups where that's the custom
to do so. You seam to do so for at least the thread you post in, like
in this. So what's the problem to do it every time?

I don't think you mind bottom posting, you just want to argue and you
reach that by objecting to anything that can cause an argue.

I'm off now. Bye!
