I you really despise them and if they're reluctant to your proposals,
you can ask them to come on IRC where I will be happy to welcome them
for a very nice troll-party that will cost them hundred of hours of
productivity...
You can't forget to accuse them of plagiarism of
your most recent
best-selling novel, and threaten to sue.
It also helps to send them a Wikipedia e-mail (or a few, or several
hundred) reminding them what's wrong with them, exactly how stupid
they are (be sure to use similes and comparisons, they make for more
captivating e-mails; also don't forget the mandatory "if I had a
dollar for every brain you didn't have, I'd have one dollar"), how you
have engaged in sexual relations with their mother/sister/girlfriend
(be sure to describe these encounters in great detail - it will keep
the reader focused on the topic at hand), how many different ways you
are going to cause bodily harm to them and/or their loved ones (be
very graphic - it helps to drive your point home), remind them how
small their manhood is (again, use similes and comparisons... and when
they tell you they're a woman, say "my point exactly!"), rinse, and
repeat.

What is the policy on duplicate articles?
"U.S. customary units" and
"Imperial unit" both cover the same topic.
Official policy is that you should look at the history of the article
with the title you least prefer to find the person who did the
smallest
possible change (I like "it's" to "its" changes, myself). Then,
you
write an ALL-CAPS HATE LETTER to them on their User talk: page,
cursing
them vehemently for "vandalizing" Wikipedia and violating the NPOV
rule.
If you can, threaten to have their ISP account deactivated and/or
physical violence. Mention of Nazis or Hitler is a finesse touch but
not
required. Finally, look at their user contributions to find other
articles the user's worked on, and blank them.
An alternate approach is to merge the two articles and make one a
redirect to the other. But what fun is that?
