I called verizon. Answer was a recording referring the case to security@verizon.net from which I hav received no response (AFAIK, postmaster@ serves the same purpose at any other ISP). I also called Jeremy Hanson's phone number at 562-431-7852. Yet another answering machine. I left a message explaining that I want to talk to Jeremy Hanson about wikipedia edits that violate editorial policy, plus my phone number and e-mail address. I have not verified that police action follows from our definition of vandalism (which probably doesn't need definition, because it is never as careful as graffiti). When I checked the state laws of Virginia, vandalism was about archaeology. "Don't wreck the art. Don't break or advertize on the stalactites". I would follow up with a call to police, and I did, and I had to retract my statement, because I could not back up what Fran Rogers was saying with *links* to what is stale data on checkuser pages. I will keep digging after my beer. While verizon's terms of service forbid "unwanted communication", I hav gotten no response from them via any channel, and I hav tried all of those listed on a whois search. You might want to list verizon in a LONG-TERM ABUSE case for not enforcing their TOS or AUP. Let me know exactly when or where that is. _______ [[user_talk:brewhaha@edmc.net|Is now open, thanks.]] [http://www.ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/Privileged%20Information%20for%20Newbies.HTM]

We should really consider the option of making the rangeblock, with a very clear blocked page, that clearly indicated where users can complain (verizon) about not being able to edit. And only we know for sure that Verizon is in the know, that they do realise there is the option that all of their users are getting blocked because this one abusive account, that they are unable or unwilling to adress.
What I would like to know is: Who is currently contacting or trying to contact Verizon, and, if we would consider the step of rangeblocking all of Verizon, there should be on site discussion about this first, at least on the administrators noticeboard.
I tried that with Tiscali to get some action in relation to prolific sockpuppeteer [[User:WJH1992]], but all I got was whinges about the collateral damage. I really think that in relation to Jarlaxle/Grawp, Verizon should be contacted by someone with the standing of, say, Mike Godwin, although I appreciate he'd probably be reluctant to get involved.
