Setting the trap for the Enterprise and luring the landing party to its probable death was pretty underhanded, though, and it makes it hard to feel that the Gorn are in the right, regardless of whose space it was.

It's hard to like the Gorn, period.

1. They launched a sneak attack, no warning, no attempt to negotiate, no contact at all.

2. They obliterated a colony, even after it was rendered defenseless

3. They faked a message and laid a trap for NCC 1701.

4. They ambushed the landing party.

5. They drove off the Enterprise, then ran like bitches.

6. Ole boy (their captain) didn't want to chase Kirk all over Los Angeles County (...I mean an asteroid), and tried to talk him into giving himself up because he was too big and slow to catch him.
