This rule is not that clear cut. A quarrelsome user cannot by picking petty quarrels thus insulate themselves from administrative action. The dispute must have been substantial and the block is good in any event. Treating it as a "non-negotiable directive" is inappropriate. It is more an action which can get you into trouble and possibly lead to loss of administrative status in egregious and repeated cases.

Hello,
I think we need some mechanism to impress it upon admins that it is not okay under any circumstances to block users you have been involved in a dispute with. It's currently treated as something optional by some admins. Usually the blocks they make are justified, but surely posting to AN/I is a better idea? IMO, This needs to be a non-negotiable directive, DO NOT BLOCK A USER YOU ARE ENGAGED IN A DISPUTE WITH, no matter how obviously the block is needed. This will save a lot of rants and hurt feelings.
