I believe as you consider Larry to have been provoked the correct multiplier would be one and the block would be 5 weeks. Please recalculate. Naturally I oppose all blocks and think it would be more compassionate to simply delete several posts on the relationship board. Thanks

> previous block: 6 weeks
period of time since previous block: 13 weeks
uncivil toward a particular individual or group: yes
particularly uncivil: no
different type of incivility: no
clearly didn't understand PBC and made effort to reply: no
provoked: yes
uncivil in multiple posts at same time: no
already archived: noIf we take 13 weeks, divide by 10, and round down, that's a reduction of 1 week. If we apply that to your previous block, that's 6 - 1 = 5 weeks. And if we double that, that's 10 weeks.
