Donin, was put in herem /nidui by the bd, and he later converted and denounced the Talmud - leading to the burning of the texts. http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/5277-donin-nicholas-of-la-rochelle Another similar story, the Noda byehuda and bet Din had condemned a rasha. The rasha then denounced the Jews to the antisemitic queen of hungary. She would hike taxes or expel the jews. The dispute between rav Emden and Rav Eibeschutz was taken to the noda byehuda, who tried to make peace between the two sides. R' Eibeschutz 's son in law was a close advisor to the queen - who had great respect for his chochmah - he managed to sway the queen, who retracted her evil gezeira against the jews. Lesson - even when dealing with secular or otherwise unorthodox jews, internal peace is still if great importance.
