SlimVirgin, you seem to have missed this question.
Look, it's obvious. Jay did something - rightly or wrongly - and many
people
are unhappy about how he went about it. Presumably, if CharlotteWebb
was
first asked to explain when they first used an open proxy to edit, as
you
claim, if no response was given the account would have been blocked
for
using open proxies, and the matter sent to ANI, which it wasn't.
I didn't say CW was first asked to explain when s/he first used an open proxy. I'm assuming she was first asked during the RfA.
The policy allows for the IPs to be blocked, not the accounts that use them, so the blocking issue is a red herring.
Why is the policy that way? Is it perhaps because it's OK to use a proxy as long as you are doing so for a legitimate purpose?
Except that policy actually says the opposite.
