Oh I should add that I didn't actually know this second block was in place until I tried editing my own user page and it was auto-reset, so yeah, it's kind of hard to argue it's not a bug.
Then go and do the correct thing, and make a request on bugzilla. Stop giving us earache.
This has been reported many times before, and discussed here on this very list. Judging by recent responses, it is NOT seen as a bug, by some people. In fact it has been stated that it is operating exactly as intended.
If it is operating as intended, then where in Wikipedia policy is this stated? I think you could search and search and never find it. In fact you would find exactly the opposite - that blocks are for specific periods of time.
