{{u|ExplodingCabbage}}, I'd normally recommend discussion and limit the block in a way that allows you to still discuss the matter on talk pages, but I'm afraid that this would encourage [[sealioning]] and a [[WP:IDHT|failure or refusal to "get the point"]].

:{{unblock|reason=There was no justification for this block in the first place. The edits I was blocked for were clearly beneficial, implemented the consensus reached after discussion on the article's talk page, and were reverted on false, bad faith grounds by an editor who - despite my best efforts - refuses to engage in any meaningful discussion about them and who has over the past several days engaged in a pattern of abusive behaviour towards me. Furthermore, after initially making those edits, I only reintroduced them ''once'', and only after outlining clearly on the reverting user's Talk page that his asserted reason for reverting them (that they were unsourced) was false and inviting him to discuss any other objections. This was likely ''incorrectly'' perceived by the blocking admin as me continuing an "Edit war" because when the other editor ''first'' reverted my changes, after I first made them, he immediately and pre-emptively edited a warning onto my Talk page about me engaging in an edit war. It was his undoing of my edits while refusing to discuss them or articulate any coherent and truthful reason for objecting to them that was disruptive, not my implementing or re-implementing them, and I have done everything I possibly can in the circumstances to engage in constructive discussion and reach consensus as required by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring, only to be accused of harassment for doing so. In any case, I do not see how reimplementing a set of reverted changes ''once'', and only ''after'' posting at great length to explain why the reason given for reverting them was false, can possibly constitute "edit warring" or justify a block. I should be unblocked and either allowed to reimplement those changes, - which have the support of those who have discussed them on the article's Talk page and for which no good objection has so far been raised - or else directed by the unblocking admin to take the matter to dispute resolution (direction which I'll follow if given, though it will be difficult to explain the sides of the dispute in dispute resolution since the other party refuses to explain themselves).
