I don't think I'm the one most in need of a lecture about not seeing the forest for the trees.

Look, Duk, if you want to take on the job of my reeducation, I can probably talk to you about it.  

But if you want to do so, first we need a solid foundation on which to build the discussions.  Let's stick to what is known about why I was blocked, okay?
JzG blocked me because I complained, in a point incidental to a separate complaint, on a complaints noticeboard, that Rlevse was rude and inconsiderate in his actions towards me.  We know that because JzG came right here and said that was why he was blocking me.
Rlevse blocked me because I had not responded on Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts.  We know that because he came right here and said that was why he was blocking me.
We also know it because Rlevse went to WQA and said that was why he was blocking me.
Rlevse did not go and make any such explanation at Wikipedia talk:Call a spade a spade.
Rlevse did not go and make any such explanation at User talk:ArielGold

Now, maybe I just missed it, but I don't think there is anything at Wikipedia:Blocking policy saying that the decision to block is something entirely at the administrator's whim, or that the administrator should
Block now.  You can always invent a reason for it later.
or anything along those lines.  So let's just stick with what is actually known and knowable about he reason for which I was blocked, the things that had been documented and recorded in our various histories here at Wikipedia before I was blocked.  Anything else is irrelevant.

Don't invent new reasons for a block.  At the same time, don't say that the stated reasons for a block were not the reasons for it.

For that matter, if Rlevse had wanted to take on that job, and had felt that there was something he wanted to teach me, he likewise could have tried to talk to me.  He did not do so.  If JzG had wanted to take on that job, he likewise could have tried to talk to me.  But he took it one step further than Rlevse did; JzG did make a comment addressed to something I said, but then he blocked me to prevent me from responding to his own comment.   22:13
