They just need to quit blocking people without authorization. We have a
procedure. Try talk, then mediation, then appeal to Jimbo if mediation
doesn't work to request Jimbo to ask for arbitration.

Here are some highlights:
* Users blocked by Jimbo tend to stay unblocked
* Wik gets blocked and unblocked a lot
* Raul really wants to block Plautus
* Not one "block" citing a Committee decision

Agreed - there seems to be a lot of blocking logged in users at the
moment - just because someone is annoyed with them. The precedent was
set a few weeks ago, it seems to be happening at least once a day now.

My worry is that if Khranus, Mr Natural Health etc had been around this
week - they would have just been permanently blocked with no discussion.
This _is_ what is happening at the moment - and for lesser cases as well.
I'm wondering whether we should go as far as to have a temporary time
out on blocking usernames. Of course, the minute we do that we'll have
Michael.
We need to put the genie back in the box.
