TOR IPs are pretty much banned.

User:Armed Blowfish is not.

If all TOR users were like User:Armed Blowfish, TOR IPs wouldn't be blocked.

You choosing to use only blocked methods to access Wikipedia is not
enough reason to unblock TOR IPs, sadly.

Deliberately using jargon terms with your own private meanings is
unlikely to lead to either effective communication or people assuming
good faith in you when they realise you've been doing it.
