Being "nice" is a waste of time. "Avoiding conflict" is stupid. These people are *******s and unethical, they get their way by bullying nice folks.....

I'm "old school", and not an attorney... but having lived in NC most of my life, I would handle it the way my grandfather would have. The neighbors would have no doubt of the ramifications, and should come to the conclusion that they could not afford the "potential damages" if they cut down my trees. It would not be pretty if they did...
