My point isn't that we don't have dispute resolution. Article RfCs and mediation are, in fact, forms of dispute resolution. But "dispute resolution" also lumps in our user conduct processes, including user RfC's (which are the most pointless thing ever) and ArbCom.
User RfCs are pointless when people use them as a whining shop. When a consensus is rapidly reached, there is no reason not to close them and enforce any decision as community consensus. We can do that, I think. Why not? If a significant number of people agree, then take that as consensus and move on.
