or put me through a mediation process formal or informal (which in my opinion would also be premature as it was a single instance, albeit reinserted because i don't like my comments edited). The admin who set the block was on the side of the editors i insulted in the initial edit war, so wasn't an independent third party for mediation. I should have been ignored, or put through mediation not blocked and certainly not for 2 weeks by an involved admin. I won't repeat insulting people, but if admins cannot see that this is not a clear case of a premature and overly punitive block then I will have lost even more faith in wiki.}}
