Thanks for the reply, I can see why it may be interpreted wrong by some people.  But he didn't complain on-wiki, so I'm not aware of how he interpreted it or what rationale was made by the blocking admin. Also this block came about 18 hours after the comment was made, which is part of why it was kind of confusing to be given it without warning. So even if was seen as insulting, the block came well after the conversation was over. As far as I'm concerned, I made my offer to help him on a personal level, and that was all. Certainly this was over before the block started.  @
