Just for the record, in case anyone gives a crap, I fully support Rick here. The user was *extensively* warned for his disruptive behaviour. Yeah, the idea of exhausting all options before blocking is nice, but sometimes people are just hell-bent and unwilling to even discuss it, and need to be blocked for a bit so they can learn that we don't operate like that, and that it's better to discuss things than to make disruptive edits.
