Well I am not sure if the editor is having a fight with anyone, but I do know that some people may not like the things I said.

I generally don't try removing these things. Probably before you remove one you should ask on the talk page if there is some continuing basis for it and not remove it if someone comes up with something in a few days. However a ban for one edit does seem severe unless there was something else. And yes, a warning ought to be given.
A question though, were the editors of that article fighting over something?

My IP has been blocked by RickK. The reason he gave me is repeated vandalism. According to what I have read in the blocking policy,
vandalism
exists only if the user edited a significant portion of an article into profanity or offensive contents or deleted the article. I never did any
of
those. I just merely erased the dispute template on the article "Nanjing Massacre". Even if this is "vandalism", how is it a "repeated
vandalism"? I
have only done once! I erased the template in the article because the article itself should not be disputed. I have posted comments in the disscussion page in the same article and people agreed with me. Unless
the
Wikipedia administrator is trying to repress voices that they don't like
to
hear, there is no reason why I should be blocked. If you don't like what
I
am doing, reply my comment or even send me a warning not to repeat what
I
have done. However, I have received none of those. If I am blocked
merely
because of the administrator don't like my opinion, then you are
repressing
the democratic voices of the people and shame on you!
