#:(In response to MIke, Samsara, Mcginnly and Ghirla) I admit that I did not express myself carefully. I should probably have said something like, ''Per Arbcom, an arbitrary decision is better than no decision, and per common sense, 59% is better than arbitrary. You agreed to this process, and I'm sorry the outcome is not in your favor. You have to choose now whether to accept the results or to continue to be disruptive, in which you will eventually earn yourself a permanent ban.'' If you oppose me because I was hasty and imprecise in my comments, that is something I can be more careful of in the future. (In fact, there are many times when I will get half way through a comment and decide to copy it to my sandbox and think about it for a while before posting it.) I think my record of edits to the talk pages of problem users and AN/I shows that I generally have a good record of being careful about what I say. On the other hand, if you are opposing me because of the ''intent'' of my comment, that if SPUI did not accept the results of the poll he would not last long, then oppose away, because I stand behind that sentiment. I believe I understand the difference between a block and a ban, the need to warn first, the duty to avoid blocking someone with whom you in conflict, and the other aspects of blocking and banning policies. In fact, I have recently been accused of being too [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Arbitration enforcement#User:Terryeo (2)|lenient]]. I also intend to state explicitly on my talk page that any other admin may undo my blocks no questions asked (applying [[WP:OWN]] to my adminstrative actions).
