Anthony, I think I also mentioned the b-word (""baiting"") somewhere, and I probably said something about one party being blocked but not the other. I fell for the oldest partisan falsehood, that if one is unjustly punished then the other one must have been wrong. This was not correct; my apologies for jumping to conclusions like too many editors and admins did in this case. No one should have been blocked, that's clear. Your comments since then in various places are greatly appreciated, and I'm saddened that a discussion, even in strong language, was made to lead to these consequences. MF was right about all those comments he made about the impossibilities of enforcing our NPA policies/guidelines/oukazes. So it goes.   "
