While it pains me to say this, unfortunately it looks like we have
another "toxic person" situation to deal with, with all the

Toxic wars have casualties; in one of the sides, or in both of them.
IOTW; you're already dealing with it, you can only change the outcome.
Can you be clear as to what you're recommending?
Are you suggesting that instead of trying to mediate between people
who don't get a long, it would be better to just pick one or the other
as the winner and boot the other out?
You are missing the point completely.
One of the challenges here is that if we were talking about just one
productive person who tended to drive everybody away that would be one
thing. The problem is that we have a lot of productive people who
have different sorts of personality quirks.
This is not a matter of quirks. It is not a *quirk* making a mess of
other people work and doing that repeatedly.
It is *not* getting along or not, it is having one side causing damage
and not being accounted for that for reasons that are and will make us
bleed contributors.
And what annoys me the most is that the issue would had been solved by
_fixing_ the bugzilla setup but apparently nobody had the time or the
will, me included, mostly since I do not dabble in perl.
