*'''It was entrapment'''. My article on Sino-Vietnamese characters has nothing to do with diacritics, politics, and anything else remotely resembling a hot-button issue. These characters get so little attention that I had to base much of the content on Vietnamese-language sources. Several editors involved whad not previously made Vietnam-related edits, but nonetheless developed an odd interest in this obscure subject simultaneously. I assume this group was assembled by IIO through email. These editors had a curiously vindictive attitude. After an article gets merged, demanding that the author be blocked is not logically the next step. I assume the idea was to tempt me into violating the 3RR rule. Although I never exceed the three-revert limit, I was blocked for “edit warring” all the same. According to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring#3RR_exemptions WP:3RRNO], page blanking is a form of “obvious vandalism.” So I should have been able to revert without sanction. | *'''It was entrapment'''.
