As far as I can remember, I've only blocked three logged-in users:

Ric, who just yesterday created a user account and then copied my User and User Talk pages to his pages. I blocked him and deleted the pages.

Wik, twice, for the same violations -- blanking articles and reverting useful content. And both of those times, I reported it on [[Wikipedia:Conflicts between users/Wik]], so those were NOT "sneaked in under the tent flap".

And JoeM, a repeated, massive POV vandal, who nobody seems to have a problem with blocking, even though it didn't take months to get it accomplished.

Besides, when somebody is blocked it appears in the Recent Changes, and on the [[List of blocked IP addresses and usernames]].

Then I've sat back and waited to see what others thought. And if the
consensus went against me, I bowed to the collective will.

A lot of these hasty blocks seem to have sneaked in under the tent flap.
