Wikilawyering

A pejorative term used among the anonymous contributors to Wikipedia articles and dicussion; invoking one or more Wikipedia policies to purposely disrupt and inconvenience all others' attempts to edit this article; used to label a senerio where a person superficially judges other editors and their actions by jumping at conclusions and slapping labels while brandishing Wikipedia policies as a tool for defeating other Wikipedians rather than resolving a conflict or finding a mutually agreeable solution.
You slighted me by insert any variety of act here; therefore, I shall demonstrate my petty animosity toward you by Wikilawyering and thus ameliorate my wounded ego.
