I'm not sure that's the friendliest, most welcoming attitude we could
possibly give to someone who has possibly been wrongly blocked (it
happens, you know). But I'll leave it there.
This is an internal discussion, not responding to someone who's
blocked. I agree that responses to blockees should be more >>supportive
than the way I phrased it above.

I've no idea what the manner of this conversation has to do with SPUI. I was under the impression the focal point of this e-mail thread was the discussion of the unblock and the editor in question.
In relevance, I paticularly don't think this user should be unblocked so easily anymore. I'm not very experienced with SPUI, but to have multiple blocks, consistant comments concerning behavior on WP:AN/I, blatent disregard to dispute resolution and egregrious edit warring is not the standards demanded of us as wikipedians.
SPUI is a good contributor, but unfourtunetly he trolls (look at his userpage) and its very commonplace for him and the editors familiar with the behavior. Its a bit of travesty, I believe, when a wikipedian is not sastisfied with producing an encyclopedia and sharing knowledge, that he must degrade to silly games and disruption to waste resources. I too have a long and productive editting history, but I really don't see why my fellow wikipedians would have to tolerate me if I resorted to such nonsense. - Randall Brackett
