Nicely said. Couldn't have said it better myself. Why do so much people immediately ask for removal of sysop status? Sysops are only human. Just asking nicely will have a much better result.
That works two ways. Should it not have been the responsibility of the person doing the blocking to discuss it nicely first? After all, the sysop presumably has more experience here than the person that he is blocking.
It is only natural for people who feel they have been attacked to react with anger, and to feel victimized.
