we might short-block [experts] quickly, if they do not respond to warnings, but we would explain that we respect their expertise and we want them to advise us.
Nothing says "we respect your expertise" like a short-term block :o)
The short block is down the line from warnings for incivility. I'm claiming we should expect POV-pushing from experts. So, unless it's not controversial, experts shouldn't edit articles! As long as the expert behaves, no problem. And experts sometimes have a lot to say. No harassment for writing too much. Ahem. But talk page refactoring, organization, lots of stuff to do....
