When you move in you control your property and not the neighbors. If you want to vote on who has control find someplace that has an home owners association.
Have you checked the fence laws for your county. If there are shared fence laws in place there are usually inspectors that rule on disputes. If you did not do this I have no reason to believe you are not just trolling this board for sympathy.

I'm aware of right-half rule, although I'm a tad confused on that. Does that mean that I maintain half the fence and he maintains the other half? Also, I don't think I ever implied that I thought it was every other post and wire.
Also, we speaking of a boundary fence here, it's not on his land and it's not on ours, it's on the boundary, which is between his land and ours at the very edge of both.
Now, to make things more complicated he told us to go ahead and put the HT wire up. Now today he was called us and told us, he does not want wire on his wire at all and we basically can't touch it because it is "his" fence, and he will take it down. That's after he OKed it.
Also, this has nothing to do with control over his property. I will repeat again, because you don't seem to be aware of it, that this is a boundary fence.
Now, about that trolling thing.
1. This is the same neighbor who, when we first moved in, told us we didn't own our driveway.
2. This is the same neighbor who caught our field on fire the first couple days we were here and cost us $100+ in damages. He did not offer to pay for damages.
3. This is the same neighbor who then spread rumors around the community that I ran around with a beer in both hands and was retarded.
4. This is now the same neighbor who is being extremely petty about the fence.
Quite frankly I don't give a rats behind if you think I'm trolling. I have simply asked for people's advice on this issue, I got some of that. I've also been slammed for "trolling" and basically asking too much of the neighbor. Now actually, that's true, I expect far too much of this neighbor.
If you'd like to actually come out and assess the situation and offer advice, that'd be different. But just saying that I'm trolling when I am doing no such thing, when you do not even know the full situation here, is pure rudeness and quite frankly is trolling in and of itself. If you have anything to actually add to this conversation, you're welcome to it. If you have a question, feel free to ask. But do not make random, unbased assumptions about a situation that you do not even know the full story behind, which are also hurtfull and mean comments.
And quite frankly, a little sympathy would be nice. But that was not want I asked for, not in any of these posts except this post where you so kindly attack me for wanting sympathy.
