::::I've read the edit warring rules between 15-20 times in the time that I've been on here (a few weeks).  I've read WP:BRD about 3 times.  I also understand that WP:3RR and the general edit warring rules leave enormous room for interpretation and give admins almost unlimited discretion, and I understand that different admins apply it in dramatically different ways.  What I don't understand is how you came to the conclusion that  "I have rarely seen such a clear case of edit-warring, and of an editor who blames others for their action."
