:Kwsn, I am disturbed to learn about this, particularly after the deference I showed you with regard to your block of ], which I believed (and still believe) was undeserved. Although I knew you were a brand new admin, I did not raise that as an issue and discussed the matter with you rather than reverting. I have in the past been summarily reverted by other admins without any attempt at prior discussion, so I know how that feels, and I did not want to subject you to that. But I am thinking now that perhaps you should ease into your use of the block / unblock button, focusing on obvious and uncontroversial cases until you learn how others are using that tool. Please don't take offense to my suggestion. I've been an admin for months, yet I still won't attempt to close controversial AfD's, so this advice is nothing that I do not adhere to myself.

Maybe I just haven't found it yet, but I don't see any involvement between TV and P aside from TV's efforts to do his admin thing and enforce policy. Surely the fact that P took offense and barked back at TV doesn't insulate P from admin action on TV's part.
