I appreciate the fact that you are here to handle these users when other admins are not around. I am trying to come here more often now that I have more free time myself.

I would go with Wikipedia's approach to handling edit wars. Let's engage with the editor into a discussion first, best on the talk page. Sure, blocking a page from edit can stop the edit war but other users might have valid edits to do on the page and now they'll have to wait the duration for the protection to end - that's time wasted too.

I think we should only do blocks and protection for aggravated and aggressive edit warring, and repeated edit warring as Otherarrow pointed out.
