Indeed. I realize that that policy is there, but in my opinion, this was not a case of 'excessive personal attacks'; in fact, the attacks were far from personal considering they were form letters. This was a case of abusing WP:POINT. I'm most certainly not arguing against a block, one is necessary. A block of 4 months, however, is clearly out of line and against policy.
