It is usually frowned upon to block a [[user]] from editing their own [[WikiIndex:Talk Pages for Wiki People|user talk page]], or emailing; unless they have demonstrated clear abuse of those particular channels, against which they have been properly warned.  However, many wikis are unable 'ring-fence' user talk pages from blocking action, therefore, a disruptive user needs to be aware of such limitations.  Also, if there is a community portal discussion concerning a blocked user, they must be afforded an opportunity to defend themselves at that discussion, with the understanding that they are not allowed to edit the remainder of the wiki.  Angering other trusted community users with one's civil rebuttals of their arguments will not help their defence.
