OK, if it's a lengthy process to convert a ban to block, then I understand.  However, I don't understand what exactly I did that was wrong.  In so far as I understand the rules, WP:BLP violations are supposed to be removed whether positive, negative or neutral.  Further, WP:Edit warring specifically states that removal of WP:BLP violations are excempt.  If those policies are wrong or poorly-worded, they need to be fixed.
