No Amir, you cannot build a logical post-hoc rationale for this block for the debatably single inappropriate use of WTF, if it hangs on cherry picking an essay from the English Wikipedia as "positive evidence", while choosing to ignore "negative evidence" published at the same place, such as a WMF Trustee using "fucking bullshit", along with prior precedent of justifying far more vulgar language in on-wiki debate.
... And these are bad examples that shouldn't be followed, and Mr Wales was widely criticized for that. Would it be appropriate to ban him? Maybe.
But giving an example of a powerful leader that did a bad thing as justification for doing the bad thing again doesn't sound like the right thing to do if we agree that the thing is, indeed, bad. And it is.
