The fact that dispute resolution has no 'remedy' in the case of POV pushers 
who are well-behaved, or even just contrite and flexible, is a 'known 
problem' for WP.  We have ducked, really, the idea of resolution of content 
disputes, rather than behavioural issues.

That, one can say, is one of the wiki aspects that gives Wikipedia its 
character.  Edit wars have to find their own resolution.

I have thought for a while that the ArbCom ought to look into POV pushing. 
I don't know what the solution is, though.  Some system of public cautions, 
without other sanctions, for example.  Of course there are many thousands of 
POV-pushing editors, and it is not clear what impact can be made.
