Well, I know a situation where there was a dispute over rights of
way over a particular piece of path that got very heated indeed.
Leading even up to 'real life edit wars' (Owner puts up fence,
anonymous destroys fence, owner add dogs, dogs get shot etc...)
I would not be surprised for the people in that particular incident
going as far as starting an edit war in Openstreetmap.

Guy maps secure research facility of paranoid company X. Paranoid
company X deletes facility, etc...
