I think this was a very misleading description. As I look at the edit
in question, it looks to me as though the statement was meant to be "I
am not going to start an edit war, Slrubenstein." I base this on the
fact that there is substantial amount of text after the "sig" and that
the rest of the text is unsigned, as are most of Bungle's posts.
So I don't think this is bannable, simply because I don't think the
comment was in your name at all.

I don't really like other people posting comments to pages in my
name. Is
this something I just have to watch out for and delete, or do we have
some
policy on this? Clearly it is not at the level of a banable offense

am not even sure if it is enough to ask for mediation.
I think it's a bannable offense, without question. Whether it would
be sensible to pursue, given how long it takes to get through the
process, is a different question. It will depend on the behavior of
the individual user.
This is the sort of thing where I think a faster process than ArbCom
would be quite helpful.
