What about reviving the idea of blocking a user from editing a particular article? If someone blocked me from editing one of the gitmo articles for a couple of days, I'd "get the message" and I wouldn't feel the need for a dramatic exit.
Are there any objections to this? I'm accustomed to all blocking-related features being controversial, but this one seems to be unusually well-supported.

In my experience, when this kind of person is blocked from editing one article (e.g. via page protection), he or she typically moves on to start edit warring on a related article. A good example is one of the people currently being proposed for RfAR, who has managed to get perhaps 10 articles protected so far, one after another, returning to the originals for further revert warring when they are unprotected again.
