If someone has a problem the District ought to require that another owner approach the neighbor with their personal concern before causing a major problem for all. There are enough power-over people/institutions/etc making life less tolerable and we ought to put out effort here to diminish this kind of behavior. I know of one happening in our village in which a spouse was concerned that the other spouse would have a heart attack over whatever the problem was. Rather than being a help, the trouble maker was being a problem in and of herself. Any suggestions, opinions would be appreciated. FL has some strict laws about stalking that all need to be aware of.

Were the complaints justified? If so then it really doesn't matter who did the complaining. If people are anonymously making false complaints then that comes under the heading of harassment and is an altogether different kettle of fish.
To be honest I really don't mind that people do this, as long as the complaints are legitimate. We moved here in large part BECAUSE of the regulations, not in spite of them. The homogeneity of the neighborhoods is attractive. I try to make sure we abide by those regulations but I wouldn't mind being reminded if it turned out that I was unknowingly violating one.
