I work and have been dealing with family issues.

My bad.

And because this is apparently a thing, you will find me more or less giving warnings first than straight up blocking. I am a kind and generous lord, whom believes a firm hand will serve a better purpose than flying in hammer first and calling the storm.

As to why your 5 calls for blocking people have gone unheard, who knows. Like I said, I work and have been dealing with family concerns. Perhaps others have looked into the issue and saw it as not a real issue. According to Dantman a ways back, perma-blocking a user a short stint of assholishness serves little purpose because A) there is the very high chance that he/she won't be back and B) by perma-blocking the IP we prevent a potential good user on that IP from actually contributing.

So I don't see it as a reluctance but more of a "Is it really necessary?".
