They should have thought about that before doing something
blockworthy, then, shouldn't they?
Wikipaedia has a right to block people, blocking people being part of
Wikipaedia's self-determination, but there are still things Wikipaedia
can and should do to make the process as painless as possible. The
goal should only be to prevent the person from editing, not hurt the
person.
Also, as a banned user, I must ask you to not imply that
banned/blocked users 'deserve' to be banned/blocked.

Excellent points, AB. This has to do with how the culture regards its
people.
