Hanging the net

The watermen are heading to the hollow to hang the net on the poles  in front of our house. The weekenders from DC have a real problem with it. They even threw a nuke the net party trying to shut the watermen down. The watermen have never interfered with the way those folks earn a living in the city, so I'm not understanding why they think it is ok to nuke the country people. No, we can't all just get along, but I'd like to think we could try.
