I don't agree with this. It's very, very easy for communities to gang up on what they perceive to be an amusing, easy and/ or "acceptable" target if they're so inclined. Never underestimate the power of cliques and playground mentalities, they can and do form pretty much everywhere.

Which isn't to say OP has handled this well at all or hasn't instigated the backlash for the most part, but I'm hesitant to heap all of the blame on them for reacting to what was an obvious goad. No one sticks up HoH towers around their plot like that unless they're getting some kind of kick out of being as obnoxious and obstructive as possible to their neighbours - especially if they've gone to the trouble of floating them - and I'm not taking it at face value that they're "lovely" when people like that frequently make a habit of riling other people up then feigning ignorance when other parties get involved. I'm not excusing the tantrums, but I get the frustration and it feels like an "ESH" moment here over one side being solely at fault.
