About these purple "no trespassing" markings, can't this be used by someone to get away with murder? You drag someone inside the fence, you shoot him dead, and then claim he was trespassing and did not respond to verbal warnings and warning shots. How would the authorities in the relevant USA territories deal with this?
Shooting trespassers is not actually legal. However, the truth of the matter is that if you have any amount of land, you could make the body disappear and that would probably be that. |

Only if you're not rich enough to pay someone else do it.  Unfortunately, that's something that pushes against my upbringing. There might be some level where I was happy doing that, I suppose. |

It's probably all normal and stuff, but all these stories about "red" posts, trespassers, etc. made me less interested in buying a ranch, sorry.
The lake-that's another story...eventually.
Lakes tend to be on land too. Honestly, I'm not sure what I'd do. Taking care of property is a PITA.The little I've got is annoying enough. Maybe I should own nothing and be happy (I wouldn't be). |

I guess you would have preferred a reply with "yeh totes dumb stuff rite", but instead I thought I'd try reply with some factual information since you asked  Oh, absolutely no doubt that there are fortunes to be made on stupid shit. And fortunes lost, of course. As P.T.Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute". |

Well, it does not look like anything good is happening.
Contrast this with early in the year when almost everybody were salivating at the prospect of selling a bunch at 100K-300K...since EVERYBODY knew that that's were we would be in December.
Too many people looking at inflation and thinking "I'd better keep hold of my filthy fiat as I'm not going to be able to buy as much with it" rather than "I'd better buy something worth holding with my filthy fiat before the government makes it worthless", I suspect. |

It's odd but sensible. One can post signs, but that is messy and liable to loss and damage while painting the top of a fence post purple is cheap and will last years if not decades. It's only drawback is you better know what it means.
Is there a way you are supposed to paint it so people know which side of the line they're on? |

My brother from a different mother.
The threaded view is too chaotic for my tastes. A good old flat forum style with the sensible use of quotes like this one, is my fav.
Yes. Threaded forums also suffer from all topics eventually sliding from prominence meaning old threads get retrod again and again. A good usenet thread could last for years. I actually have some thoughts on a usenet 2.0 with cryptography and better decentralization. I should really start putting pen to paper on it. |

All the news right now should be bullish but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

My moms side of the family were country folk. I used to visit my grandfather in rural NC and we would take a couple cane poles for fishing. We fished in a creek on his property, but that was on the edge of his neighbors property. My grandfather, a man of few words pointed out a post with a purple top and asked me if I knew what it meant. Nope, I said. And he told me, it's a friendly way to warn people "if you go on that land they'll shoot ya" (the way my grandfather said it was more like "shoochee" lol).
Interesting. I had not heard of that one (nor ever seen any). |

Thanks for that. Interesting. BTW, is it just me, or is reddit really so messed up and poorly designed for browsing posts? I just hate it every time I visit. I find it hard to navigate... It's threaded, which sounds like a good idea but has its drawbacks. I much prefered the old usenet model where you would typically read threads in chronological order but you could also thread them if you wanted. I always use old.reddit.com
Oops. I hadn't even considered that he wouldn't be doing that. |

Unfortunate encounter that could not be avoided on principle, but I'm not going to live my life in fear over this win.
Fear is not good but caution is. Seems like you have a good handle on that though. You can certainly afford it so it would be daft not to, especially with modern tech. Not that you should have to. Why can't people just be sensible? |

I seriously regret I never got the chance to talk to them.
As far as you know. |

"They" did do a drive-by on their side of the property in their pickup truck to eyeball the work while it was being done,
Just be wary, some of these country folk can hold quite the grudge (I think it has to do with not having other stuff to distract them). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHJbSvidohg |
