\t\t\t\t\"neighborly<\/a>The Campbell family had recently become irritated with their neighbor\u2019s, the Liens, late night weekend gatherings on their back patio. \u201cIt was frustrating because at first, we thought it was a onetime occurrence,\u201d said neighbor Katy Campbell. \u201cThen, it seemed like every weekend they were having friends over, and were up late listening to music and hanging out. It\u2019s not that big of a deal, except we have a baby, so we need her to sleep, and we need the sleep.\u201d The Campbell couple knew what they had to do, but it was going to go against the grain of how almost everyone in Stapleton prefers to solve neighborly disagreements.\n\nIn Stapleton, if you have a disagreement, the norm has been to post the issue in a public forum, such as one of the Facebook sites, Next Door, or Big Tent. Typically, this is done in a passive-aggressive fashion. \u201cWe have seen how a lot of people handle these small disputes and how they can escalate quickly,\u201d said Jon Campbell. \u201cSomething small immediately becomes something big as comments become nasty and people take sides. We decided we were going to try something new.\u201d The Campbells decided to go over to the Liens home and address it with them politely. \u201cWe wanted to let them know that we knew they weren\u2019t trying to be disruptive,\u201d said Jon. \u201cWe just needed to see what we could do in regards to having it a little more quiet after 9PM. It was nothing personal, and we wanted to keep it that way.\u201d\nThe Liens appreciated hearing from the Campbells directly. \u201cWe have seen how these things are normally handled,\u201d said Alex Lien. \u201cWe were glad to not have our photos or a video of us posted on a site.\u201d Melissa Lien felt the same way. \u201cWe felt bad they hadn\u2019t addressed it sooner,\u201d said Melissa. \u201cFrom our standpoint, moving a gathering inside is not that big of a deal, especially if it keeps us from having a silent feud with neighbors. Plus, there\u2019s a chance another neighbor felt similarly, so we were glad to have someone address it with us face to face.\u201d The Liens and Campbells had success with their brief one on one discussion regarding a neighborly matter. Maybe this success story will be enough to have other Stapleton neighbors try a similar approach.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
