Three years ago, my neighbors were storing a canoe up against the chain
link fence that separates our backyards. It was an eyesore. My opinion is
that I have no right complaining to my neighbors about what they do on
their own property, so I took a pro-active approach instead. I planted
some Silver Lace vines on the chain link fence. This worked very well and
by the end of summer it hid the canoe, and it looked really nice.

He told me that he and his wife shouldn't have to trim it at all, because
it was my vine. snip

IMHO and IME you are wrong and they are right :-)

i think they were being bit petty to be honest, for example they could have
said 'do you mind if we trim your vines', but suppose it was any other sort
of invasive weed or tall tree, it would definitely be your responsibility so
i thinks its just that they are small that makes you think you dont have to
do it.

IME you have made a start getting on good terms with them so get over your
annoyance, trim the vines and invite them back.
