However, I do NOT feel that it was appropriate for a single administrator to block a user for four months (in fact, I couldn't find any justification for blocking for WP:PA unless it places another user in danger — I think we can all agree that is not the case here).
There is also a provision under 'Disruption' for blocking someone whose personal attacks are SO pervasive that they disrupt wikipedia. I believe some admins blocked Bigdaddy777 under that provision. However, that has a maximum duration of one month even after repeated offenses.
