The best way to resolve a conflict, is by talking it out. Sometimes,
other users can contribute to a resolution by mediating, but this
doesn't always work.
If a party to a conflict so desires, he may request that Jimbo consider
blocking the other user's login-name. Such a block could be temporary or
permanent.
I believe that the procedure is supposed to be to contact Jimbo
privately. I will admit that I myself did not do this with the matter
of User:Mediator, but that seemed a special case for a number of reasons.
In any case, asking for a ban is a weighty matter. None of us should go
about it casually, nor in the heat of a dispute. This is especially
true for established contributors.
