Depends on who the "we" is? Those who've been blocking people based upon their opinions of them have pretty much always been doing it.
By the way, my statement wasn't that Diebold was blocked because of who they are, it was that most Wikipedians generally are going to look the other way because of who they are.
'Course, now that the block has become so widely known, all bets are off.
