I don't think that's related to your actions specifically,
just to the fact that you brought the issue to the attention
of more people, and more of us told the hotheads to cool off
for a while.  I don't think that's a bad result at all.
The article pages on which they were fighting (e.g., "Anti-
semitism") are actually pretty good articles at the moment,
so there's no immediate need for revision.  And I've noticed
Graham at least making useful edits to non-controversial
pages in the last day or two. I think that's a fine result.

I'm also sympathetic to the possibility that maybe one way to
attract and keep more experts is to be less tolerant of nonsense
and more liberal with blocks and other "official" sanctions.
