> Also, I must warn you that I believe your understanding of the Please Be Civil process is mistaken. Please Be Civils are not given repeatedly. After one Please Be Civil is given a poster may be blocked at any time for one week. At the following incivility, the poster may be blocked for two weeks, then doubled each time.
Yes, that's the general rule:

And that's what happened in that case.
But sometimes there are exceptions. I may feel blocking someone isn't the best way to go and just give them another PBC. But I try to minimize exceptions, because they can lead to other problems...
