I agree with Dragontamer (although I'm sure everybody already knows my
opinions on this matter). A user was blocked for misbehavior, and he
complained about it. I can't imagine any user (besides a vandal) getting
blocked and not complaining. This doesnt mean that every instance needs to
become some kind of arbitration nightmare. What I don't see, besides Panic's
plea, is a reason to review or even overturn SBJohnny's decision. People who
make bold decisions to benefit the project should be rewarded, and I dont
think we should be introducing unnecessary oversight into our system.

*Sigh* it was only a matter of time. Get a bunch of
people working
together, and people will suddenly not want to work together for
whatever reason :-/
I have not looked at the current issue (in fact, this is the first
time I have heard of it. But I feel that in this specific case,
community consensus may be a bad thing. Eventually, there may be
groups of users vs other groups of users. Maybe Jimbo or some other
person would have to step in there.
Oy, this is a whole new can-o-worms in Wikibooks policy...
