I agree this would better be done openly (particularly as the block itself wasn't done with a great deal of transparency); perhaps it would be better on a Wikipedia page (WP:AN?) than flooding the mailing list.
The block was done with a great deal of transparency, and was discussed on this list, which most blocks aren't.
I don't want to have one-to-one conversations in order to discuss things secretly; my concern is only that people were getting fed up with it on this list. I'd certainly support discussing it on a talk page; perhaps [[Wikipedia talk:Blocking policy]]?
