I can understand your concern, however, writing in all caps does not help your case at being the calm neighbor.  Verbal abuse and profanity can be pursued through the police department.  You have to create a paper trail in order for action to be taken.  It obviously bothers you and the person you describe feeds off of that.  As for the speeding down the street, there is a link on the PD website to report speeders if you feel the need to do so.  Too many complaints will bring the officers out.  Unfortunately, the best thing would be to turn your backs on the family, including the children, that way the person has no ammunition for allegations to be made. 

Just my 2 cents.

I completely agree with you, 1990Ford.  For sure keep a log of the behavior and avoid contact, that way there is no fuel for the fire. Wow good luck on that one.
