I've just blocked myself to check on how this process works. Among other things, the page includes the following line:
"If you need to see the wiki text of an article, you may wish to use the Export pages feature." Export pages is a live link.
So the GFDL problems are nil.

Why is that "obvious"? Why on earth would you hit the edit button when you were banned from editing?
He already said that. He wanted to re-read the block page. That is a perfectly legitimate thing to want. Also, by the GFDL, users *must* be able to retrieve the source code of a page. This, too, is a perfectly legitimate thing to want. Both cases *must not* renew a block.
I know that most of you think Nathan is just an attention-seeking troll, but I think a lot of you would do good if you learnt to "see through" the emotional bits and look at the factual things underneath.
