Thanks....the more I am reflecting on the exchange, the more I don't feel I need to apologize. When I felt as though I was getting accused, attacked, yelled at and mistreated, I told them nicely, "I think it's time for you to go"....They just sat there, stunned....I stood and showed them the door. They didn't move, and that's when my one neighbor started getting loud and obnoxious. I then - a little more sternly said - I said you can go now.....Finally, when they were not listening or respecting that, I said more loudly, "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE".....and then added that when they can talk to me in a civil manner, let me know.
I guess at this point I just don't know what else I could have done to get them to leave my house.....
