Problem solved. Doesn't follow Javier's rule, but, oh well. I did something similar in Nino Bien on a Thursday in August of this year. An older porteño in front of me was doing a 6 step box pattern or something and taking two steps backward against the line of dance repeatedly all around the dance floor and stepped on several women while also wavering between lanes. I felt he was endangering my porteña partner. So I turned myself around and just as he backed into me our bums bumped lightly. But he didn't change his pattern. He did it again and the second time I bumped his bum with my bum HARD so it shook him. (Several people who saw it gasped, including my partner.)
Well, he stopped doing the double-step backwards and my partner was safe thereafter and expressed her appreciation. Later, I felt a little cheeky pulling that stunt in a famous B.A. milonga as a mere Tango Tourist on my rookie trip to Argentina.
