Questions from Gerda Arendt
Thank you for stepping forward!
 * Thank you for evaluating a consensus. The second question is possibly too specialised: I have a problem when a harmless edit is seen as a violation of restrictions, and I would like to see something better than a block, which would not impress me if I was the victim. Please follow the link to my thoughts (above, developed in August, before this happened, because unfortunately I see it happen again and again, last year I had a different example) and see how far you would follow an approach of talk before block. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:33, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * My apologizes for the delay, I'm going to read over the info you gave me and give you my thoughts on it. Wildthing61476 (talk) 20:37, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I feel that a block is a measure given when the situation merits it. However, a block also needs to be given at the appropriate time, and not to stifle debate or to silence an opinion. If someone falls out of line with regards to a topic ban, and it's a clear-cut case they did, then this is block worthy. If there is grey area, that needs to be looked at to ensure the topic ban stays in place. Wildthing61476 (talk) 13:49, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
