Okay. Then on what grounds do you make this claim? The only thing you are acting on is your property.
Let me raise another issue. If a person has four neighbors, and they are the only way off his property, and three of them put up fences, is the fourth obligated to let the person enter his property?
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. -- River Tam

No.

No. I would say that the 4th neighbor, when he sets is property boundry has to allow an alley out or something to that effect.
That may be true, if enclosure is aggression, but you didn't answer my first question: on what grounds do you claim that my denial of trespass, even in this situation, is aggression, since all I am acting on is my property?

The same grounds I would use to say a thief trying to claim stolen property is his, is initiating aggression. A simple denial of passage is not initiation of force, the surrounding through use of property is.
