I've never seen such blind anger and pure hatred on a WP talk page before.
It gets much worse than this, actually.

What are the members of the ID Cabal doing
hacking up editing an article on
Affective Computing, a technical subject on which they have no meaningful background or expertise?
While there were many problems with the article, I can think of no other answer here besides revenge. This is how Wikipedia editorial policy is formulated. There is no one who will take responsibility for the decisions that are made: formally, no decisions are being made. It's just volunteers, you know, helping out where they can according to WP policies.

Well this is how wikiworld works. Except eventually the heat dies down and uninvolved people stop caring/looking out and the thuggery begins again.
No one is blocked, no one is topic banned, and no one has been assigned responsibility for decisions about this (or any other) article. There is nothing to stop the problems from recurring; we can be fairly certain that they will.
