I agree with Dragontamer (although I'm sure everybody already knows my 
opinions on this matter). A user was blocked for misbehavior, and he 
complained about it. I can't imagine any user (besides a vandal) getting 
blocked and not complaining. This doesnt mean that every instance needs to 
become some kind of arbitration nightmare. What I don't see, besides Panic's 
plea, is a reason to review or even overturn SBJohnny's decision. People who 
make bold decisions to benefit the project should be rewarded, and I dont 
think we should be introducing unnecessary oversight into our system.
