He's not even the author, he's a descendant on the gravy train.

What you're talking about here is leaving complete information out, or
twisting the article content, due to a complaint from a financial
interest.

I ask again: if the case came to you that one side was saying "we must
do this to the article because someone with a financial interest asked
us to" and the other was saying "we are an encyclopedia and this is an
NPOV issue", what would your thinking be on the matter?
