I think it depends upon the individual honestly. I don't retcon when I can help it, though I do have one character in this game I'm remaking even though the incident is long since passed. However if a person feels that retcons are necessary then who am I to nay-say them? Sometimes people are intolerable to deal with, and when that occurs you do need to put your own mental well being first - particularly if the people are using their characters to act out their OOC frustrations. This can either come in the form of waiting it out, trying to be civil and hope it'll breed civility in return, or to just walk away and hope for the best in the long run.
I will say however that complete retcons do affect more than just yourself and the other party, particularly if you have friends or other people have characters who have interacted with both sides. They're sort of stuck out in limbo, where one party says one thing but another says another - and it can be at times hard to reconcile that. However, again, put your mental wellbeing first.
