You should at least sack up and admit that you didn't knock on his door because you were afraid. You weren't trying be nice. A passive aggressive note is not nice. Passive aggressive notes are weak, lame, and annoying.

I'm surprised. It actually takes A LOT to evict someone, I'm sure his noisy exhaust wasn't the only reason. Must be different it Illinois.

The OP didn't say his exhaust broke any laws. He only stated that he was annoying the crap out of his neighbors. The fact that SEVERAL neighbors got together behind the OP's back to whine about his exhaust was also not nice. It also seems that the neighbors knew the OP was not an asshat neighbor, albeit he was being annoying, so there was nothing to fear. They just didn't want to seem like buttholes by telling him their problem face to face. Guess what, they came out like buttholes anyway. Even worse than that, they came off as cowards. How embarrassing.
