[Wikipedia-l] "Drive-by tagging" advice needed

Well this is precisely what happened to me. Things got nasty with a 
newly-minted admin decided to take the newbie under his wing, and started 
reverting. *sigh* Well, water under the bridge really.

But David, I was wondering if you would consider starting an article on 
"procedural obsessives"? It seems that simply pointing people towards such 
an article would be a much more neutral way to deal with it than posting a 
personal message on their talk page. THAT can easily be misinterpreted as 
someone trying to protect "their" article.
