Actually, there have been cases of editors on Wikipedia getting into
conflicts here, with one of the parties going off to a "feeder wiki"
(as you term it) and instead of the parties staying apart sometimes
the conflicts carry on when the other party follows them there, and
then the departed party returns here to complain, and so on. When
there are certain types of personalities involved, sometimes the whole
internet is not big enough for them.
