User:Nlu (who I note is part of the CVU - that may be coloring his outlook, as he presumably deals mostly with vandals) has blocked me for a week for these edits: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_California_S... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_California_S... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SPUI&diff=prev&o... The first two are a bit of harmless fun on a project page. The third is a simple inoffensive your mom joke as a response to an overreaction to the first. I put {{unblock}} on my talk page, and he nowiki-ed it and protected my talk page to prevent me from putting it back. Something seems off here.

Ok, so you make a joke contribution. Someone, sensibly, reverts it. Then you re-add it? With the word "fuck" in the edit summary? Why? What were you thinking?
People even went out of their way to use the correct humour templates to indicate that your jokes weren't funny and were getting on their nerves. Your reaction? "Your mom's getting old." and "Hahahaha".
Seriously, why be annoying? And if people object to your being annoying, why complain about it? Your user page is a pretty clear demonstration that you *want* to be annoying and offensive. What else do you expect to come from that?

But is a one week block maybe a little overkill?

G'day Ilya,
But is a one week block maybe a little overkill?
I wouldn't have blocked him at all for this, but I'm not sure how I'd treat a user who wasn't SPUI doing the same thing --- it could be I'm just relieved he didn't mess all over the carpet this time.
The fact is that SPUI, every few weeks (if not more often), feels this innate need to wave his arms about, holler swear words, and cry "Look at me, I'm being disruptive!". *Then* he has the hide to complain when somebody blocks him for being disruptive. I mean, for Pete's sake, man, take your medicine and stop being such a baby.
But still he whines, "I was blocked for no reason!". Imagine if Tom Sawyer had cried and threatened to run away from home when his Auntie caught him stealing the sugar.

The block was removed. I can only imagine that he'll take that as a signal to continue as he has done.

This is a Bad Thing, in my view. SPUI has been blocked enough times (well over twenty by my count) that a one week block is not inappropriate, and undoing another admin's actions to reduce a block on a serial vandal / disruptor does, as you suggest, send entirely the wrong message. Guy (JzG)
Is it just me, or are we giving trolls rather too much of the attention they crave lately?

Stop trolling, Tony ;-) Guy (JzG)
Yes, removing an {{unblock}} notice and blocking for a week might a bit over the top, but "harmless fun" are the operative words here. By now (after multiple blocks) you should've realized this is not the type of fun most wikipedians appreciate.
Just be careful.

After around two dozen blocks I would have thought you'd have worked out by now that your definition of "harmless fun" differs from that of other editors. Guy (JzG)
