Why did you endorse my block if this is the case? The block was enacted solely on the ruling in the MONGO case and was applied to my reverting to

there
was no arbitration ruling that relates to Wikipedia Review, how is the justification for my block valid? Why did you support it?
I didn't read the link right. In this case the link might be fine, although Wikipedia Review is down right now. I don't support broad generalization of the MONGO case. Glad we cleared that up. Maybe we can resolve this. Who is it that thinks someone can be blocked for a link to Wikipedia Review based on the MONGO case?

Heh, okay... everyone makes mistakes.
See [ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Essjay_controversy&diff=prev&a...] this edit I made, and my talk page [ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:KamrynMatika&oldid=1...] following it.
It seems that (in this case) ElinorD and Crum375 believe that it is OK to block an editor for adding a link to Wikipedia Review. In this case, the link pertained to the article as it linked to a thread on Wikipedia Review where Essjay's deception was first brought to light, and (in my opinion) it's quite relevant. I was warned for adding the link, based on the MONGO ruling, and then blocked when I ignored the warning (my bad there I guess). Is this or is this not appropriate? Thanks.
I'd just like to note for the record that I stopped adding the link precisely because of a block threat; as Matika's followup and subsequent block shows, the threat was acted upon.
