But that is the very kernel of my point; my tone, especially when it is merely reflecting their tone, should have no bearing on a block/unblock decision - what we have is two people arguing, both regarding the other as impolite, and one can simply use a 48 hour block to silence the other! That is totally outrageous...it's not like I actually am a troll the Admin accused me of; I have a substantial editing record. And now I want to take up this case in a forum where all these issues can be aired, while I get on with my normal work here. But I can't do that while there is  what I believe is a vindictive block, an abuse of power, in place. ( )
