While I wouldn't have unblocked this user myself, I appreciate your 
sincerity and your reasoning is fine.  If we have to block him again in 
a week, so be it ... at least he's been given a chance.

You've done what you feel is the Right Thing, and you've done it with 
sensitivity, explaining your reasons and making sure everyone 
understands why you did it.  Well done.

There's no need for people to start throwing about epithets like "wheel 
war" about this.
