Well, that sucks for the vandal fighters. I understand your frustration 
at this, and the desire to just make it go away. But blocking an entire 
range of IPs, I think, is not an acceptable solution.

Oh yeah, definitely. I think what he did was rather inappropriate, but 
not something to get really huffy about. My point is just that a 1 month 
block on an entire range of IPs is quit excessive and should not be done 
ever*. If we can all agree about that, then the issue is pretty much 
resolved, as far as I am concerned.
