Fascinating conundrum my dear fellow.

Shall I have some of my local associates pay these charlatans a visit?

Fix your fence. Be the bigger man. Go on with your life without getting into some sort of grudge match that could drag out for years.

Haven't read the whole thread, but I'm willing to bet some people just want to tell you to stir shite...

...mainly because I wanted too as well.

Why am I not shocked you let a broken fence mature into a "feud".

Always escalate.

You’ll thank me later.

Are you angry enough to fight him in 9 rounds of bare-knuckle boxing? If you’re not angry enough to bare-knuckle box over it, then you’re really not that mad. If that’s the case, just be the bigger man and move the debris over four feet.

This needs to end now and end decisively

do you have or intend to have kids? This is the opportunity to play the long game. If you have a young son, you just look at the guy and say "yeah I got a young boy, Lord only knows what he's gonna get into when he's a teenager". Do a three second cold stare, and walk away. I personally removed the muffler off my sons first four wheeler and told him to only ride in front of mr shall remain nameless' house, while nameless was on the night shift. I allowed it to happen for a month or so and nameless never said a word. He knows what his kids did when they were teenagers, and he knows he deserved what he got.

Just fix the fence. It will probably cost less than $15 and it's not a hard project. While you have your skill or table saw out finish another project you've been putting off. You can be the better person in this one. Matter of factly let the neighbor know you are fixing it but tell her the next fixing is on her.

You probably live in my neighborhood. It’s full of Karens who are currently bitching about a car wash being built on what was a blighted lot.

Life is too short to fight with your neighbors over petty shite. Don't put shite in his yard. Let him fix the fence if he wants to fix it.

It's just boomers and lead posining. There will definitely be shitty old millennial neighbors but in different ways.

Remove the patch from the fence. Then call animal control when their dog gets out.

Probably Not worth it.
Do not let them walk all over you, but unless it’s a big deal, I would let it go.

Avoid them.

They are petty.

Don’t wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and the pig likes it.
