If an editor is obstructing improvement of the

Would none of the measures in [[Wikipedia:Resolving disputes]] have been appropriate in this instance? For example, quantifying consensus via a vote, requesting sanctions against a user who flouts consensus...etc.
I think we've discussed ad nauseum how people are afraid to request sanctions against other users because of the perceived (and real) threat that the arbcom will turn it against the person bringing the case.
