Check out the edit history of the Sollog article, particularly around Dec 27 2004, where a mother of all edit wars took place in spite of, and possibly even because of, the 3RR rule.
This now seems to have consequently bought about that Sollog site that I mentioned earlier.

All the 3RR does in *some* circumstances is re-enforce Wikipedia's majority bias. Even if it is a useful enforcement tool in many other cases.
It also, perhaps more importantly, contains damage by making revert wars by necessity very short. Prior to the 3RR, we'd sometimes have revert wars going on for hundreds of reverts.
