Trying to nip in the bud

Since it looks like Kww blocked TRM before you posted your note, would it be better to unblock both of them, rather than block both of them and have a long ANI discussion? I was a keystroke away from unblocking TRM (that was clearly not an acceptable block on Kww's part) when I saw you'd blocked Kww. I mean, there will be a long ANI discussion anyway, I'm sure, but it might have slightly less heat if they're both unblocked. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:09, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Ah. I guess I'm too late. I suppose I'll comment there. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:11, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
I need to step away briefly, but if you would like to unblock both for the ANI discussion I won't object. That went sideways faster than anyone outside could throw cold water on it... Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 22:12, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
I was trying to throw cold water, watching it happen for like 10 minutes, but I type so slowly that events kept overtaking me before I could hit "save". I had to delete 3 different notes while it was unfolding. Anyway, I have to step away myself now, so as much as I think dual unblocking is best, I'm not going to do it myself. Thanks, though. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:26, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
I'm still of the mind that ARB needs to review. We can't issue sanctions of any kind if needed, and judging from KWW's unblock request, it seems he doesn't understand the reason he is blocked. I prefer to stay neutral at this stage, so I won't deny his unblock request, but I can't fathom how unblocking will cool things down right now, particularly since KWW maintains the block was legit and it was BLP violations, something no one else has agreed with. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 22:33, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
George, it does look like there are several issues at play, and I don't think anyone but Arb can figure this out. I'm disturbed with the ease of which we can claim something is BLP and block when it isn't remotely negative, but the bigger issues, well, you know them, and you would be the logical choice to file there. Whatever comes of it, at least some clarity should follow. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:27, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
I told him I'd hold off until constructive discussion was over, and / or tomorrow; that he has not yet gotten it doesn't mean constructive discussion is yet over, nor is it tomorrow (even if we give up on ongoing constructive discussion). I am not currently hopeful but, giving up on hope and being rash is what got us all to this situation, and I'd rather talk talk rather than file file. I agree that if this is the same position set after ongoing discussion something needs to be done about it. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 00:30, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
