>Or is the idea to 'push out' people who persist regardless of what they may have to offer???
I just mean that people give up after a while. When the blocks keep getting longer and they still do not understand. Or whatever. If I was sitting on a block of 3 months or longer and I couldn't see the sense in previous ones then I would go. I couldn't afford to stay emotionally involved in babble because the risk would be just too great. That has happened with people, eh? They have sort of got 'pushed out' with increasingly hefty blocks. I mean, I can understand wanting to get rid of 'trolls'. But what about the people who aren't just trolling???
> Why not retain the option of matching the offense to the length of punishment.
One month is still a long time IMO. Why not just cap it around there???
