In your email, I thought you went to Bella for extra input on improving your edit, which is fine. But now that I see the all the posts, it looks like you were asking Bella to intervene on this message, which was less than ideal.

When a user has a disagreement with another, it's important for them to talk amongst themselves and involve others only when it seems impossible to come to an agreement. Now, I'm not saying you meant it in that way, but when you went to Bella after Heimr posted this on your wall, the implication was that Heimr did something wrong and that an admin was contacted to settle the dispute with a block. Again, you may not have meant it that way, but judging from her response to you, Bella got the impression that Heimr was vandalizing pages, which is a block-able offense. Aside from being somewhat provocative, Heimr did exactly what policy instructed (he undid the edits to the status quo and contacted the person with whom he was in conflict with), so it would have been bad news indeed if Bella had carried through and blocked Heimr.

That said, it looks like things are sorted now. Working with other users can be a frustrating task, but the community aspect of wikis is what makes them so great, so it's important to always assume good faith :)

THANK YOU.
