In any community (and yes, there is a Linux community and it's a healthy one) where you have multiple choises in any matter there is bound to become different "groups" that favor one or the other.
In addition to this, due to the uman nature of competition, there will be namecalling between the groups.
Since this is still a fairly young isssue there will perobably take years before all the namcalling stops, and even then there will probably be some animosity between the GNOME and KDE developers.
It's a sad thing to see, but it happens all the time and everywhere.
