You know I have to question this. One, if the reason is so severe, all staff should be well informed of the nature of this user. Two, you have exceeded the policy-specified maximum block duration which is in place to both prevent blocks of unjustified length and not dissuade users from returning to the wiki after their blocks have expired. Furthermore, you're using profanities in your block reason, which is not acceptable from a moderating perspective (particularly while there is an open discussion about the issue) and is indicative of bias in your decision-making.

The block duration will be brought down to 1 month. This is an established precedent. Should the user offend after that period would we consider longer blocks. Regardless, we need a detailed explanation of their behaviour and associated incidents. I do not want to have to question your judgement, but this kind of stuff needs to be clearly communicated.
