I've reviewed these articles, and although some of the changes seem 
debatable, or involve exchanging one POV for another, that is nothing 
unusual in the thrust and parry of debate.  To say that adding the 
single word "current" to "Polish border"  is a disrespect of Polish 
borders  makes arguments out of nothing.  The addition is at worst a 
redundency of trivial importance.  

If temporary bans are to have any value, fair-mindedness demands that 
when the offender returns to the community her contributions be judged 
with the same objectivity that would be applied to any other 
contributors.  There is no need to look at her contributions through a 
microscope for every tiny point that you may find offensive.  If you 
look hard enough you can find that in anybody's contributions.
