Seconded. The 3RR is an electric fence, not an entitlement. It *really doesn't matter* if the article is on [[m:The Wrong Version]] for a while longer. It really doesn't. Consistently running up 3 reversions every 24 hours is prima facie evidence of failure to work with others.
It only takes one motivated party for failure to work together. Sometimes reverting is a way to bring them to the table.

If we should want to use edit-warring as a tool to achieve this end, we should do so in full awareness that its over-use is ill-regarded by the community and may land us with a block. In particular, we should not complain when over-zealous use of reverts in the face of multiple opposition lands us with a 3RR block.
Reasonable people should agree completely with this, but I (OTOH :) have to stipulate:
1) that 3RR should be applied according to what it actually says and not in a one-sided manner according with a complaint.
2) that your (or other's) implied or stated assumption that tag-teaming an issue is simply an aspect of consensus is false down to its toe fungus. Civil law in meatspace doesnt say: "if youre a lesbian walking home at night and some guys beat and rape you, they (being in a majority) should be considered as a microcosm of democratic consensus against your position."
SV There doesnt seem to be an article on [[toe jam]] BTW.

I'm sorry that's simply incorrect. Your use of the term "tag teaming" here is prejudicial and misrepresents what is happening: one person tries to impose his will on an article while two or more oppose him. This is an informal consensus, and the solo editor is ignoring that consensus.
