That sounds just like, 'if you were someone other than who you are, then you would be welcome to edit.' Same could be said of any banned user. And yes, paranoia is part of who I am, as should be apparent by now.
Use of open proxies isn't who you are, it's what you do. Big difference.
You are what you do....
I suggest you peruse [[Wikipedia: List of banned users]]. "Banning is different from blocking; a block is a technical measure to disable editing by a specific account or IP address, and is a restriction which may be temporary."
And your name is not on that page, hence you are not a banned user. Please do not pretend to be so again.
I don't think being banned has much to do with what lists you appear on.
If no one is willing to unblock - which is okay now, for the record - that would seem to qualify as a ban.
