This sounds like a personality conflict between two Wikipedians who can't communicate their feelings in a friendly manner. I don't know the parties involved BUT I know for SURE that the Wikipedia community as a whole is blameless. I suggest that the individuals settle their differences privately and leave the rest of us OUT of it.
Actually, have a look at AN/I - Chris Hillman said he gave up and asked that the article be reverted to Sarfatti's favoured version and left so - which, of course, the community would not do. More to the point, while Hillman wrote the version that offended Sarfatti, many other editors were reverting to Hillman's version.
More to the point, if editors are threatened with lawsuits for making good faith attempts to write NPOV articles (which, given community support, it would appear that Hillman did) we can't just leave them out on their own. That would be great for community spirit - when someone threatens you were abandon you? Not a good precident.
