I think it is quite possible that a reasonable person could have read it and
assumed it was a springboard for further checking, rather than a proposal
for an immediate block.

No, I think you're going further than the evidence there. Durova did not say
she had discussed blocking with these five, as the quoted passage shows. She
said that their reaction to what she sent them was "positive to
enthusiastic". She has not said that she sent them a proposal to block.

I still get a strong sense that there is much less to this than meets the
eye.
