The discussion on this has now involved threats to take serious action on both "sides". I find the idea of blocking dissenting voices repugnant and fundamentally against the Community value of openness and transparency. Dissent is not the same thing as disruption or being uncivil, I think the lines are becoming dangerously blurred in this area and we are in danger of seeing a super stupid dramafest being fuelled. For what it's worth, anyone with admin powers that starts blocking people would be a major wally, and might take care to consider the potential "boomerang" effects that are likely to undo anything positive they hope to achieve. On my favourite friendly Wikimedia project, Commons, we have the concept of staying mellow, even when dealing with seriously difficult discussion, so keep it mellow. I will skip reading emails here that look ranty, life's too short. Cheers, Fae -- faewik(a)gmail.com https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fae
