These guys just arrived 3 days ago, and we're trying to work with them to concentrate on their stated goals (coming up with ethical guidelines that would improve collaborative content creation on websites such as Wikipedia), rather than what they're being distracted by (they use the language of war to describe their situation).
If they can work it out with joined-up thinking, it might actually be a net plus to the world rather than a waste of electrons, e.g. suggest a survey of the operating principles of other large wikis be completed.
