There's something wrong in the tone of that response.  I have not looked 
at the article but I do understand that it was a biographical article, 
and the dispute was over whether the person's middle name should appear 
in the title of the article.  The reference to "repeated requests to 
stop" suggests that the person making those requests was operating on 
the premise that the existing article was absolutely correct.  What 
attempts did that person make to find a compromise solution?
