That's exactly the case here. There is an extreme chilling effect from these two, you actually get afraid to edit an article lest they dislike something about it and enact some extreme punishment. As seen here I hadn't edited since May, and the only edits I made in July were:
 * 1) asking Sannse a question about vandalism
 * 2) discussing the vandalism on the appropriate talk page
 * 3) proposing an idea for a redirect to Dean, who had edited the page I wanted to redirect to
 * 4) replying to Wagnike's criticism of the redirect

In response to this, Dean blocks me a century. Apparently you just can't explain your reasons to Wagnike if he disapproves of an idea. I didn't even make the redirect! The whole reason I didn't do so was because I wanted to make sure there wasn't other drafts in case a disambig would be warranted.

I guess Dean did this as a show of solidarity or something since it's mostly been Wagnike instituting these abusive blocks.

This is clearly a block to stop community discussion because that's all I've done for the past couple months, I haven't even edited an article since May and they had no problems with my actual edits from December 2015 to May 2016 (hadn't participated at all in June).

Would really appreciate if a Staff could stop in as a tertiary bureaucrat to check these two and encourage them to take more moderate administrative action. They should only be punishing vandalism, not edits they don't think are cool enough or simply discussing things as a community.
