> I am disappointed to see the same formula for calculating blocks. It leads so rapidly to unconstructive months-long blocks for very minor issues. In the years that we have been discussing this, I don't believe I ever saw any poster support for this way of blocking. Almost everyone who has voiced an opinion has been in favor of short, occasional blocks. I have a terrible feeling that we are just wasting our time asking for any constructive changes. I feel that you are just toying with us.
I acknowledge and respect that you (and others) have different opinions about the formula. Reasonable people can disagree.
Regarding just this specific case, it wasn't a months-long block. Did you consider the issue very minor?
