But the policy, in its introduction, states
A clean start is not permitted if there are active bans, blocks or
sanctions (including, but not limited to those listed here) in place
against the old account.

Sorry Gabe... but no. I stand by my position. First negociate, then
restart (whether a fresh or not a fresh; but in all cases, in all
transparency).

I am terribly sorry that you feel shocked by my
proposition. Please
note that my proposal does correspond to "Wikipedia rules", I just
tried to spell it out a bit.
We are not talking about how to bypass Arbitration Committee
sanctions, we are talking about an editor who has been blocked.
The details can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Clean_start
I really think that our friend should try to make a clean start, spend
the time it takes to get a feel of how Wikipedia really works, and
then these complicated issues we are facing right now will seem a lot
simpler.
Best regards

Well... I am... shocked by this proposition.
What you propose is plain and simple a way to go around a block.
This comes in opposition with Wikipedia rules. So you recommand to
"not respect the rules" ? Uh....
Ethically speaking, I think it is wrong as well as it is cheating
and a lack of respect for the community and its way of operating.
Technically speaking, this is probably not possible as his IP is
likely to be blocked as well for new account creation.
I think the ONLY way to deal with that is
1) to pause and reflect on why that happened
2) to talk with the one who blocked and to propose to be on
probation with a solid-established wikipedian to "review"
additions and help deal with these copyright issues
3) to keep low profile and indeed to focus on small edits, small
improvements, categories => create a good track record.
