Bureaucrat status can make dealing with these types of issues a tricky one. The best option  if you find yourself dealing with ill-suited Bureaucrats is to ask them to remove their own right, at least until things settle down. If that doesn't work and a community is seriously being disrupted, it may be time to move to an open discussion where the community itself gets a chance to weigh in on the need to restrict Bureaucrat status. With any luck, such a discussion would help the wiki settle itself down and current users would accept a public verdict.
