That beiing so, I'd gently suggest that the Foundation *must* get involved in this. Deletion is a mess and the various deletion-related forums have become a law unto themselves. We can't do anything, arbcom is scared to do so, and so outside action is required.
Personally, it's not so much /scared/ as concerned it is outside the arbcom's jurisdiction/mandate. The arbitration committee has not considered content disputes within its remit, for one thing. Behaviour and adherence to policy ARE, but I think it would require an actual, specific case to be brought before the arbcom.
Gross incivility to others is obviously in contravention of Wikipedia policy, and if such is occuring within *FD I suspect the current arbcom would consider it within our jurisdiction to rule upon.
