If they're successful in changing policy, then they won't be able to be
blocked. ;-)
Sneaky POV-pushers that we are, we revert their edits and *then* block
them. Hah!
Hah! That is what I have seen others do often to get people blocked and
change an article to their consensus! Wait... how did you know how to
do that?
I'm surprised it was even called an edit-war. Perhaps, everybody who
joined in actually became a part of that edit-war, and everybody should
be blocked. Hah!
I don't try to game the system to not get blocked. However, I'm against
any block on any users. Understand the difference. It's open content,
but it is also a work in progress for an encyclopedia.
I fear that consensus on what is appropriate knowledge is easily
influenced by policies like this. The 3RR needs attention to avoid such,
as the likely-hood of a thwarted consensus is even implied in the
laughter above.
I'm just a wiki-peon that finds it hard to find those that want to help
create a neutral point of view. Instead, I find those that want to
compete for views.
