I use the fortnight block as well, and if the person being blocked doesn't
know what a fortnight is, then I can suggest a certain online encylopedia
and/or dictionary they can use to read about it!

Clown - it's not a routine thing.
It's also an easy way to mark your personal blocks, so they can be
spotted easily in the list, assuming the list doesn't already show who
set the block.

misogynistic, even though Jennifer Crusie is (pretty obviously)
