So you're trying to justify the block because of that response? I had differences with what he said, but he was  at least willing to continue the discussion with me (which occurred) and not get ban/block happy. The other admin, who also initially resorted to insulting me, was the one that put the block in place. Not exactly gonna feel fair or evenhanded treatment is occurring when some admins are more willing to resort to insults at users and pulling out the ban/block stick while others are willing to hear your side of the story as to why things got out of hand and at least give you a direct warning beforehand that they will have to resort to punishment tactics, etc.
