I'm also failing to see why we need to allow editors to override a TOR / Anon proxy block.
Because then, we won't have to tell people to change the way they connect to the internet in order to actively contribute to a small part of it.
Jimbo's words may not carry any more weight than anyone else's, but the fact that you fail to see why we should allow editors to override a TOR block implies that you *should* read them: not for their authority, but for their logic. This is a way to ban proxies without banning people, in line with the recent ArbCom ruling, to allow more good-faith anonymizing proxy users to contribute, and vanishingly less bad-faith users. The only problem is that no one cares.
