Are they endangering themselves? You? The people around them? If any of those are the case it's time to confront/reason with them.
Yelling doesn't do much, except get yelling in return, so I'd skip that.
IF it's something like, Z. wants to date A., and you _know_ this is just asking for trouble, I'd see if I could bring it up in conversation and say, oh I don't know, you do know that you're as vanilla as Breyer's best and that he/she isn't happy unless they're beaten daily.
Also consider maybe that someone should step in, but, for some reason you are Not the right person. In that case, see if you can get a mutual friend to address the matter.
I guess I'm saying think of it as a medical situation. First, make sure you're safe, then see if you can help.

Give a buzz if there's anything I can do.
