::::::::I regret that my own tone was unclear, as it must have been. I tried to sound matter of fact, and hoped to convey  that I don't see anything amusing or light in your threats and block against Giano. (But perhaps I'm bad at expressing such subtleties.) Nor anything *endearing*. On the contrary, it strikes me with a chill to see Durova protected at Giano's expense by the Foundation power structure, of which you are part. I can't take seriously the notion that there's anything worth hiding in the so-called "evidence" against . I mean, I can't see any respectable reason for hiding it, deleting it, blocking and threatening people over it.  The reason for doing that is presumably a choice made between the two users, a definition of their value and their role, as thus: Durova is a valuable user who deserves protecting against having her methods revealed by Giano, who in turn deserves blocking like a troll. And yet: which of them has acted without consideration of self in this affair? Giano has risked, or more realistically has given up, his chances in the arbcom election for the sake of the project, and for the sake of the abused . How Durova has acted, you know. And it's Giano you block? No, we're not on terms where I like you to speak jocularly to me, Bastique.  
 ::::::::I notice btw that you still haven't posted your block for review. Do you, too, like Durova, labour under the notion that a block is nothing because it's short? That a short block is just a matter of "delaying" a person's editing for such-and-such a time? That's a mistake.   |  .
