If your interest was truly concerned about the safety of others, then it's ok to tell those at risk. In fact, it takes a fair amount of strong moral convictions to take such uncomfortable steps and qualifies in my mind as commendable. Somehow, I still suspect that your motivations may have been suplemented by a conflict with the owner of the problem tree.
If you failed to tell the property owner of your intentions to inform the neighbors he was putting at risk, then it probably still qualifies as "being a dickwad".
I don't think his motivation was supplemented by conflict with the tree's owner, I think that conflict made doing what Vet had to do even harder, more of a mind wrecking chore.
