It is bizarre to have MoS guidance that cannot be implemented because some admins
disagree with it and block editors rather than obtain new MoS wording.
If you've been blocked for making a nuisance of yourself, the fact
that what you did is written down in a manual somewhere doesn't excuse
your behavior.
Style is a matter of personal taste. Unfortunatly I've seen at least
one sysop also making a nuisance of himself on such matters, provoking
and alienating editors who were doing good work, simply because they
didn't dot their i's or cross their t's in a manner that he agreed
with. This is not the way to foster a productive editing environment.
Nobody is obliged to change the manual of style; you must instead
modify the way that you interact with other editors.
