I certainly hope you didn't interpret this blocking as stem from some
personal aversion to Diebold -- I viewed it as a way of addressing
legitimate concerns raised about the editing by this IP. I think what
Anthony is stressing is that there are certain incidents where a
punitive block, despite being a generally discouraged thing, will be
tolerated by the community, not that there are certain people will
simply dislike and therefore block.

In any case, there seems to be agreement here that the block should be
lifted, and so I have done so; however, so far as I am concerned, it
does not seem to be a big deal one way or the other.
