In an effort to not post a block of text like I usually do, I relate a bit to Purrington's comment. He's not a bad person, just has bad attitudes/habits, and reminds me a lot of my bad attitude days. I don't know if one year is too long or too short considering the repeat offences, the admins know better than I do in that sense as they've been here longer. But I think the block stands as a "tough love" thing- shape up or shape out. I spoke to someone else about this, as they asked me why I was intent on reaching out to Sajuuk on the attitude's bit, and I realise I'm not where I am now solely due to the support of the few who stuck by me. I also had to be kicked from a group of friends to notice my own behaviours. Besides, didn't Saj's profile say he was intending to leave the wiki anyway? I think this just kinda solidifies that statement.

Also, on a somewhat related sidenote, I'd like to dedicate this part of the comment towards some particular users sitting in the backseat on all this to protect their, somewhat false sense of, neutrality. They know who they are because I've spoken to at least one via chat PM. Tim dished out that block and defended his view with guts, something that you guys should be supporting him on as opposed to letting him take the heat and reaping the benefits. He really put himself in the line of fire with that move when I know for certain he's not alone on the comments made. Just think about it, ok?
