This isn't the same as weiging carefuly contested VfD one was involved in, etc., this was a clear and very technical case of 3RR violation. The incessant tendency to personalize intellectual and procedural matters is -also- something that Wikipedia can see improvement in.

Sadly this is not the case and we currently have a few admins who regularly block people that they have had numerous arguments with, admins who unblock themselves after violating other rules, and admins who close VFDs that they have been vocally involved with. Hopefully this is just a temporary illness.
