::If you're not sure the block doesn't need to be increased, you shouldn't.  ''This isn't aimed at you; it's a general comment.''  There are two types of unsavory characters: people who need to be slapped, and people who need to be permabanned.  The latter are clear, of course, and he isn't in that class.  But slapping someone with a long but finite block just makes them angry and hostile when they come back.  CP is basically treating them like children with these "timeouts".  It would be better to treat them like adults who need to be told when they are doing something wrong.  Assuming they are adults, they will presumably "get it".  If not, well, then you drop the axe.

::The preceding paragraph wasn't something I was planning to write; it's just something I've noticed over the last year or so.  You gave me a perfect lead in for it.  Thank you for understanding.  [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] 20:06, 15 March 2015 (EDT)
