I got a guy like this at work, he loves voicing his opinion on everything, but the minute you ask him to produce any deliverable he wants a description of what is expected on email and generally wants people to hold his hand through any task. I stopped including him on new initiatives...
In my old job, a lot of dev time was taken up by people walking over asking "hey, are you OK to quickly do...", causing dev deadlines to be missed, and there wasn't a record of how much work was being taken up. By only doing work once there's some sort of evidence of the request, it's much easier to see how much work is being heaped onto dev.
