an edit war. You then
make a decision to stop, close your browser and cool
off at pretty much
the same time that an admin decides to block you for
some policy
(personal attacks, say).
The next day -- 20 hours later -- you have cooled
off and you vow to
approach the issue with a clearer mind now. You
discover you're banned
for the next 24 hours. Your cooling off is

I agree completely - this is an example close to my
heart right now - reasonable people, when treated
unreasonably and denied any right of appeal, start to
act in ways which seem unreasonable to others, but are
reasonable to them.
