I think you are being too hard on the neighbors. The original poster
has planted an invasive weed (weed being a relative term -- I love
my morning glories) that she happens to like, but which is
invading into her neighbors property and destroying their garden.
They were appropriate in broaching the subject and providing an
alternative to killing the weed.

The original poster doesn't have a legal leg to stand on, and frankly,
it is not "neighborly" to plant invasive plants at a boundary and
expect your neighbors to suck it up when they invade.

The neighbors are not obligated to spend their time cleaning up
after the poster, and it is silly to expect them to.

Some years ago, I had an apple tree that had grown large and
had branches that overhung my neighbors yard. Every year, it
would drop many, many apples onto their yard where they rotted
and caused problems with lawn maintenance. My neighbors, quite
appropriately, asked me to fix this, and I did.

The poster should realize that not everybody is obliged to share
her taste in invasive plants, and make sure that she stops imposing
on her neighbors.
