 :  Previous history may support a longer block period (last time was one week, this time is two weeks) and may even justify blocking talk page access in this case (despite there being no ""abuse"" here per se this time), but blocking the email feature without a solid justification (i.e., past abuse of this feature or being ""extremely likely"" that such abuse will occur) is extreme (in fact, looks like a knee-jerk reaction) and should be reversed.  This feature, of course, is a method for the user to contact an administrator to request unblocking, and should not be applied lightly.  If the user then abuses the feature, then it can be justifiably blocked.  —''''''  "
