Being reasonable is good.  Make sure, though, that you do not lapse into the same kind of behavior that lead to your recent block.  How would it look to others if you came off a block and started doing the same things again?  A general attitude of incivility is what's not accepted here- it's not about using one particular word or another.  If you get a 24-hour block and don't use the opportunity to cool down a bit, you're only giving people reason to try a longer block.
