The world would be a much better place if we could wave a magic wand and make all the assholes disappear. That's not going to happen.

That said, I keep coming back to the idea of "words and deeds". They may have said disrespectful things in a disrespectful tone, but there's no law against that. They didn't actually DO anything other than knock on your door. They didn't break any laws or violate your rights.

Could this have been handled better? Oh god yeah. There's no question about that. Did they actually do anything WRONG, though? That, I think, is a much tougher question to answer.

As for you, I think you acted completely appropriately and within your rights. For that you received some threats that proved to be empty.
