frankly alienus i was about to voice my support of halving the duration on the basis that while it was inappropriate offense might not have been intended then i read the preceding comment and i see the familiar protests of complete innocence and defiant tone that doesn't seem compatible with an acceptance that your words did cause offense regardless of intent and a willingness to make an effort to avoid doing so in future for what it's worth then i oppose a reduction of the block though i may change this view in future
