Intentionally reverting edits to factually inaccurate versions. Guanaco 02:02, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Guanaco needs to be dealt with, and my Request for Comment was ignored, so what is my next step? The arbitration process will do no good, since it will take three or four months to get any thing done, and I don't expect anything profitable to be done anyway, and in that long period of time, Guanaco will have allowed and encouraged Michael to post all kinds of stuff (he had three pages of postings in the last three days), in direct violation of Jimbo's hard ban.

He does have a valid point that banning Michael seems to not work. He only comes back with new accounts or edits via IP, and does the same thing. It may indeed be easier to "contain" him to a known account or two and then just pick up the pieces.
HOWEVER, I don't think it's Guanaco's place to unilaterally decide that this should be our new policy. He is still officially banned and bannable on sight. If we want to alter this decision, let's discuss it in a place of record (here, or on Wikipedia).

I am not unilaterally unblocking him, but I am not prohibited from doing so. My decision to unblock Michael's accounts is supported by both Danny and Theresa Knott and falls within the "in other appropriate cases" guideline for unblocking. The blocks do nothing to prevent him from logging out, creating a new account, and then editing a different page. He can be blocked on sight, but it is clear that he shouldn't.
