In that case, the problem was not your block, but your block reason.
If you are blocking because of an ongoing problem, say so, don't just
cite the most recent problem. You said you were blocking for one act,
and that act was insufficient to warrant a block. If there were
previous acts which, when considered together, are sufficient to
block, then you need to say so.
