That said, the proper course of action for Caroline Colden is to appeal to Jimbo.
Caroline Colden was not directly subject to an arbcom ruling, and therefore an appeal to me is unnecessary. Any sysop can unban the user, as the blocking appears to have been made based on a misinterpretation of the arbcom ruling.
The arbcom's remit does not extend to the content any more than mine did. That is to say, sweeping rulings about future users with respect to any particular point of view are misplaced. This is not an open invitation for LaRouche supporters to misbehave, of course. But the point is that it is misbehavior (including persistent POV editing) that has to be dealth with.
