Uhhhhh, how about this instead ...

You are my asshole neighbor.  You throw rocks, you make noises ...

I buy you a cup of coffee, we talk ... I make it perfectly clear that I
have no intention of changing my family's life to accomodate your grand
vision of pan-asshole-unity.  I have no intention of trying to bully
anyone into protecting my wheat at the expense of theirs, but I will be
working with our neighbors to insure that you don't get any matches. 
You need to know that I cherish the the freedoms I have to pursue my
dreams, just as I cherish the right of others to pursue their dreams in
a manner that makes sense to them.  You should also be aware that I care
deeply how my neighbors, including you, feel and what they worry about
and I am being as honest about this with them as I am with you.

But there's one more thing I need to be honest with you about while
you're finishing that last cup ... I really, really do not want to send
my sons and daughters to your house to blow out the match you lit, but
if you light it and a single innocent gets a blister I will erase you,
your farm and your every dream, hope and aspiration from the face of
history and salt the earth on which it all once stood.  I'll get the
coffee - you get the tip.
