Thanks for the reply. :)

The wiki is a small one where only me and the founder edited (I'm a bureaucrat on the wiki) and it's a wiki that's been around for a year or so and which would focus on a topic that a lot of people could help out with. I was helping out the founder with contributions to an aspect of the wiki and helping to improve the wiki overall (infoboxes, fancy features, design and so on), which necessitated that I improve upon the founder's contributions in certain areas to standardise the articles to other articles I had created and edited.

The founder did not like how I was editing pages he was heavily involved in, sending me a message telling me "don't just touch my stuff, how would you like it if I started editing your content?", to which I responded that wiki's are community projects, not owned by anyone and that I'm free to go in and make changes without telling anyone (per the CC-BY-SA and general open publicness of wiki's) and that I also wouldn't care if someone edited anything I had contributed towards, unless it was straight up vandalism.

When I pointed this out, he decided to suggest that me pointing this out was "not constructive" and he left pretty much immediately after that. I became aware today that the founder in question went to one of his other wiki's (he has bureaucratic rights on a bunch of wiki's and in many cases, he is the only contributor) where he proceeded to talk to an editor who had edited on the wiki in question (who had done very little except post some wall posts on the wiki in question) and called me a vandal for editing his work and suggested I was being disruptive. I haven't really bothered to contact him since, except to tell him that I'm happy he said it and will continue to contribute and improve "his wiki" (I use that loosely, since it's not his :P) without his help.

If you need any links to this, let me know and I can post some links here :)
