Maybe I'm emphatically naive, but I think Lir can
still be a
valuable contributor. I believe that so much that I've
unblocked Lir--or tried to, anyway. There are two entries
about Lir [in the block list], and only one of them disappeared.
Anyway, I'd rather be wrong about something generous than right
about something cynical.
The other was the block by user name; there's no interface for
doing that yet, so only developers can do it. But since you
chose to unblock the IP, I've unblocked the user name on your
behalf.
I happen to agree that Lir might be a valuable contributor when
she grows up. I just don't think we need to waste /our/ time
being her nanny.
