I just have to be the pessimist here. From what you posted, it sounds like the other user already understands and agrees with all of the objective reasons for merging. The sticking point is their personal fear of a repeat of a previous bad experience. You can try to persuade them be reiterating the benefits for the wikis but ultimately, unless you know the user in person, there isn't much you can do to get over this last hurdle. Perhaps it will just take time. I know you said you feel like a "war" is coming, but is that driven by the two of your or the other users in your communities. If the former, then merging probably isn't a good idea as I doubt your differences will disappear just because the wikis merge. If it is the latter, then the two of you, as founders/admins of your respective wikis, can try to set a better tone within your communities.
