Your attempts to put the flames down won't work, even if you manage to
do it temporally. As long as the gas continues to leak, every next
flame would get bigger and more devastating. Even if I am not around
to give it a spark.

And, it have long went over the simple flamewar.
This just won't go away. It is war on principles.
For once you'll have to solve the problem in its root. Like it or not.

For the people from the people. (developers)

You are server admin, you don't have to question official request.You
are expected to do what you are told to do.
Everything else is ABUSE of power you have been entrusted with.

Your speculation that there is no authority and/or majority that could
throw out a loose developer, is absurd on its own.

I'll ask it in another way.  Whom legitimacy would you accept?
