Brosky, don't get angry at me, but as an outsider, I have no idea what is going on at all. This block seems really random and slightly unfair. It's not typical as an administrator to side with users, but I can't seem to find any justifiable evidence for a long block.

Though you did kinda clearly mention why you decided to instate a one-month long block, you might need more than "challenging staff behavior". If you believe that WolfLord was wandering into harassment territory, you need to tell him and leave warning messages on his wall before taking any editing privileges away. (Also, an incident on chat should be a chat ban, not a block) Just keep in mind that a user is allowed to challenge another's actions with legitimate reason, even if it gets annoying.

However, you also mentioned in your post that he backstabbed people in PM with others. Could you cite a specific recent incident when this happened? A user that he has backstabbed? A lot of this is currently really vague. Was there a recent specific instance that he cyberbullied you or someone else? Or broke a specific policy? Sadly, we aren't allowed to block people just because we feel like it or if we're angry at them.

Until you clarify yourself further, WolfLord has the upper hand. He's right when he does want a two-way understanding - he did try to reach out to you this time, unlike last time. Refusing to clarify yourself and closing the thread early because you don't want to "waste your time" shows irrational and uncool judgment on your part. Nusdan, you're usually better than this because I know you - you perhaps acted on anger, which makes all of us do weird things.

Maybe with a good night's sleep or two, you could reexamine why you blocked WolfLord for the longest duration (usually issued to vandalizers and trolls). Because at this point, the block is deemed unfair. It's like me randomly blocking someone at this point.

I'd like to end with a relevant quote stated by User:Imamadmad in a recent incident that probably pertains to this one:

"To anyone wishing to point out fault to another user: if you have an accusation to make, back it up immediately with evidence. Link to the problem page, quote the text you think was wrong, and then explain why you thought it was wrong. Especially in the case with alleged insults, people's ideas of acceptable content differ wildly, especially when you throw unfamiliarity with the English language into the mix. Calmly explaining the words you think are inappropriate and why they are inappropriate is much more helpful to all parties."

Thank you.
