It's interesting that you should choose this moment to announce
your conversion to this view, which you had previously mentioned as
merely a fallback position. For what it's worth, the first time an
edit war broke out over the Tim Ireland issue, it did dominate the
article: see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anne_Milton&oldid=60181758
for one example of an old revision, most of which is taken over either
by reporting the blog or its contents. This did cause problems with
undue weight, until on June 30th one very helpful editor came in and
researched a much longer article. Modesty forbids me from saying
who exactly this much maligned editor was.
