Oakland's so-called "love wall" is back to being just a regular-old wall today after someone removed the hundreds of colorful Post-it notes that adorned it. Scrawled across the sticky notes, CBS 5 reports, were messages of hope and tolerance that apparently many people thought were necessary after the election of Donald Trump.

Well yesterday someone clearly wasn't feeling the love, as cell phone video shows a man pulling the notes off one by one. Neighbors don't seem pleased. “Instead of knocking the messages off, post your own message," Stephen Fortner told the channel. "If you disagree, disagree respectfully.”

The outpouring of emotion in sticky form was similar to some Post-it note therapy on the wall of a NYC subway station earlier his month, and "empathy walls" in BART stations. At the Oakland wall, hundreds of messages like "keep calm and love us," "peace is power," and "resist + help each other" obscured a mural of Lake Merritt — and it is apparently that last bit which bothered the man.

The East Bay Times reports that the man is homeless, and was worried that the sticky notes were damaging the mural. “I went down there and tried to talk to him," explained Pamela Drake of the Lakeshore Avenue Business Improvement District. "He stood guard by it yesterday so nobody would come and put any more up there. We decided not to have a fight with him.”

Instead, those interested in spreading the love just started putting notes up on another wall around the corner — one that is mural-free.
