(Do you know where I could find the page where this vote took place?)

I think something like a 24-hour block for clear outbursts of of personal abuse
would be a very sensible policy for Wikipedia to adopt. When users become
stressed out enough to lash out at others, it's probably as good for them as
for the project to take a time-out.
