Hotlinking was not the problem here - they copied my photos and then
resized them (out of proportion) in the html. When I give permission to
someone to use one of my photos I like to give them a copy that has
been specifically sized and formatted to their need - and has a
copyright notice on it.

That's just it - I hope it will generate good will, because I think it
would benefit us equally to have a cooperative, community atmosphere.
(It is a local community site, dealing with a nature sanctuary we both
have an interest in.) But I wanted to get some ideas from others and
give myself the weekend to think how best to approach it. I do have a
tendency to get sarcastic, and that is not at all what I want to do in
this case.

I love this! This is exactly the tone I want to take! I knew it would
be a good idea to knock this around with you guys!

Absolutely. Even though I am the one who was wronged, I feel like I'm
trying to mend bridges here, and if I'm going to complain about someone
else's courtesy and professionalism I should at least try to live up to
my own standards!

Thanks for all the good feedback - I'll let you know how things
progress.
