I think - no. There is a number of threads about this guy in the archives of AN/I, with a number of creatively different excuses for his behavior. There is absolutely no reason to unblock him on English Wikipedia, and this is the wrong mailing list for unblocking on Simple English.

Please don't get into the BADSITES dispute because >>WR is pointless (you can see my opinion on the BADSITES issue here: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php?title=User:Quodealis/Badsites) User:Iamandrewrice had a medical condition called body dysmorphic disorder, which is a very rare, but treatable, condition. This disorder is an explanation of his sometimes weird behavior. I believe he should be unblocked.
On the Simple English Wikipedia, Iamandrewrice was banned (after he changed his username there to User:Benniguy). He created a sockpuppet, http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Inkpen2 and after it was discovered who he was, he made an unblock request at http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Inkpen2 and said his condition was much better now that he was on medication for his illness.
Although Gwib doesn't believe he is any better because of a recent incident with User:Crystalclearchanges on english Wikipedia, I do. His writing on User talk:Inkpen2 seems like a completely different person. He seems more mature, sensible, and comprehensible.
I think he should be unblocked. What do you think?

He's changed, like I said.
There is no list for Simple English Wikipedia, I am calling for his unblock on both wikis. (<offtopic>And I definitely did _not_ mean to say WR is pointless, I put the word pointless and wanted to put "involved in this case, and drama here is" between "is" and "pointless" and I forgot to do it. Sorry, but I think WR is okay, it isjust some of the posters.</offtopic>) If you mean unblock-l, I thought that was for unblocking yourself.
