Excuse me?
The last time I was blocked was October 31, and that one was clearly bullshit:
as soon as people found out about it there was a massive outcry and it was
overturned almost right away, with the support of >95% of the people who
commented on it.
Other than that, the last "real" block was in June of 2006, and that probably
would have been overturned rather rapidly had I bothered to contest it, but I
was going to be out of town for a week beginning about a day in the week-long
block so I didn't worry about it.
Before that was December 2005, which was essentially just one block, being
removed and replaced for progressively shorter durations.
Before that was in October of 2005.
So I've only been legitimately and effectively blocked from Wikipedia twice,
both within an approximately two-month period over two years ago.
Please get your facts straight next time.
