 Malleus, it's no secret I think you're a dick. That is obvious, and you were clearly exhibiting it in this situation that got you blocked. I'm not judging... I'm a bitch. But it wasn't a cool down block. Just because someone is pissed off when they get blocked doesn't mean it gets classified as a cool down block. We have a civility policy. When it's breached, you run the risk of getting blocked. That simple. No matter how right you may be, or how much some of us may chortle at some of your words, or the fact that the discussion was mostly on your talk page and if people didn't like where it was going, they could have just gone away. When it comes down to it, it's still against policy. That said, when you're not being an ass, you're an asset to the project... p Srsly, you really are. I know you're pissed off about the block, but you know flinging insults is not productive. Taking your ball and going home isn't the way to go. Refusing to apologize? Your choice. But add to that choice the decision to stay, and hopefully avoid similar situations in the future. Just because I think you're a dick doesn't mean I don't respect and appreciate your work here. Plus, you make me laugh... D  "
