The ArbCom case is being pushed at the moment (in our first 6 1/2 hours,
the new arbitrators have been hacking away at the backlog ... why am I
still up, and why am I online?).

The socks are blocked and so is the user (for glaring sock abuse for
policy-violating purposes and because we're still sorting out the mess).
Which isn't an entirely elegant solution providing a way forward, but does
stop the abusiveness for the moment.

I'd really like to see a decent wording for 'No personal attacks, block
after warning' that would be objective enough to make it through a vote,
like the last one didn't.
