It seems I was actually the first person to go to the talk page in question and point out to the bathrobe people that this subject was being discussed. That should probably have been the _first_ thing to be done, the assumptions of bad faith would have been disposed of straightaway.
In hindsight that would have been good. I had assumed that if they thought it necessary to protect the page they were pretty determined to keep it as was, but still should have commented to them about it.
The page is protected again last I checked, but rather than wheel war over it it'd probably be best to discuss the matter on-wiki and then if that fails take it to [[Wikipedia:Requests for page protection]] to get a fresh outside view on the matter.
In my own personal opinion the protection isn't that big a deal either, even though I'm opposed in principle. Might as well let it slide until the bad blood dies down.
