well as i said at talk transnistria i'll be happy to unblock after three days which would be the same as the previous edit war block if i think the page is getting nowhere i've also said that if people really belive this is being harsh then i won't revert an unblock but 'leniency' is the way i'm looking at this i'm not blocking m m to punish them i'm blcoking them and unprotecting transnistria to give it some time open without their influence maybe it'll just go stale and not develop in which case i'll be happy to unblock but protection simply hasn't been working on that page
