Let's review shall we.

You wanted something from them.

So you sent them an angry letter. You went to their meeting and assumed they were majority racist. The first thing you did was to show disgust at their religious practices. Then, before your critical issue came up you took a firm, exasperated position against one of their issues not related to your cart.

And then you asked them about your cart... and got push-back. At that point your response was to harangue them until they told you to sit down and shut up.

There is a reason 99% of "Libertarian activists" do not participate in their local meetings. This is real-life politics with real people getting their real feelings hurt and protecting their own interests and voting in blocks and whatnot. It is completely and totally incompatible with Libertarian supper-club armchair philosophy. When real humans get together to try to work stuff out, it is never pretty. Best to stick to the books and online where being right is its own reward.

And if you want a hot dog cart, try another jurisdiction because your chances in this one are ZERO. Your only alternative left is to hire representation to sue against the law requiring carts to move.
