16 10 October 2011 UTC decline You say that you understand the reason for your block and will not do the same again However you have already told us that you knew all along what was wrong with what you were doing and have made it clear that you were willing to accept a short block for it but that the length of this block has gone beyond what you were budgeting for That indicates that the length of this block was fully justified as the shorter one you were expecting would not have been an effective deterrent You have therefore given a very good reason for not unblocking Also it is worth mentioning that you still don t seem to have taken WP NOTTHEM on board 13
