Actually, it seems I've mentioned at least four editors... 
[[User:KamrynMatika]], [[User:ElinorD]], [[User:MichaelLinnear]], and 
[[User:MONGO]]... well, five if you count [[User:Essjay]], and maybe 
even six (didn't [[Teresa Nielsen Hayden]] show up herself as an 
editor?).  Of course, I wasn't actually "targeting" all of them; I 
was favorable or neutral to some of them.

Ummm... wait a minute, ElinorD was the one who did the block.  
User:KamrynMatika, who you're replying to, was the one who *got* 
blocked.  Big difference!
