:::That is certainly not trolling. Trolling refers to deliberate and intentional attempts to disrupt the usability of Wikipedia for its editors, administrators, developers, and other people who work to create content for and help run Wikipedia. To characterize the recruiting of opinions for an RfC on a talk page associated loosely with that user as trolling is assuming bad faith, pure and simple. At any rate, I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of blocking. "Offenses" do not merit blocks like punishments - they are purely preventative measures designed to stop the encyclopedia from being disrupted. In this case, 96 hours is not only excessive, but punitive. ''''''
