I'm not sure that's true, Ryan. They do a lot of harm, it's just usually less dramatic.
They certainly do less harm than this whole ordeal has. Some people just can't stand to have anything on Wikipedia that disagrees with their principles, and they're willing to go to war over it. This is a great example. The war is more damaging than the thing you're going to war over. We all should really just call it quits on this one.
