There is the fact that a specific vote on whether admins could block people for personal attacks failed to achieve consensus a few months ago (a real pity, in my opinion). As such, it's dicey ground.

I think something like a 24-hour block for clear outbursts of of personal abuse would be a very sensible policy for Wikipedia to adopt. When users become stressed out enough to lash out at others, it's probably as good for them as for the project to take a time-out.
