So after reading that and rummaging, I've got a couple of questions.
It seems like Naconkantari had recently taken some heat for too-vigorous
blocking. Then he blocked several people on the RFC you link to above,
shortly before the RFC was deleted. Doc Glasgow, one of the people
blocked, offers this as an explanation:

Given that, is it fair to think of Naconkantari as one of those people
who got caught in what I think of as the "overburdened admin spiral",
where a tired person becomes more short-tempered, causing incidents that
weary them further? And that this was just the final turn of that spiral?
Also, when you refer to ArbCom-blessed continual agitation, is that the
same thing as the ANI reference to free passes for certain people?
Thanks,
