You are clearly misinterpreting WP INVOLVED I have been involved in this in a purely administrative capacity I have no involvement in the underlying content dispute As I noted in the log when unblocking any uninvolved admin is free to review and re evaluate the situation but since Arcadian had been blocked for edit warring in the same subject area with the same user it was wildly inappropriate for him to issue a block which any admin with five years of admin experiance is well aware of meaning he chose to ignore it and issue a block he knew he shouldn t So yes am quite certain ot was justified and I don t believe the block was punitive it was intended to prevent him from taking further foolish actions in this area and give him a chance to review the wisdom of his actions
