Citing policies or essays
It is very common for editors to cite policies or essays within conversation. This is a useful way to convey information, but can be vague and confusing if unexplained. An example of a summary in a revert follows:

WP:NPOV is a very long page to read. This can make it difficult for editors to understand what exactly you are talking about. This mainly affects newcomers who are not familiar with policy, but can also be difficult for experienced editors to understand. Instead, it is better to link to specific sections, such as WP:FALSEBALANCE, and explain why you believe their is not good by quoting their text and quoting sections from the policy. For example, if the editor is incorrectly using contentious labels, such as "racist" in their text, it is best to link to MOS:RACIST and explain to them that their use of "racist" is inappropriate, rather than just citing WP:NPOV.

Maybe they aren't bludgeoning
Sometimes an editor may make a large amount of comments in a discussion. This of course can be annoying, and may appear to be bludgeoning, but there could be a communication error going on. This can occur when an editor truly does not understand your point, and than pushing their POV, is asking for you to clarify your point. If this situation arises, it is a good idea to make sure you both are not misinterpreting each other.
