I didn't look it up Ed. I don't do a lot of policing myself and have often found myself wrong if I don't carefully examine any policy that becomes an issue. I may once again, in a negative way, sinned by not being fully up to date on what can and cannot be done. Rooting for you though,
Fred

I gave Adam Carr a 15-hour block (for abusive language).
But then I read Fred Bauder's remark that:
- We do not provide for automatic blocking or banning of persons who
make personal attacks. So once again I hereby "place myself on report". I had thought that any of the 415 admins, having the "ability" to block signed-in users, were "authorized" to use that ability to enforce the rules - such as: [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks]] If I'm wrong, then I hope the first thing the arbcom will do is unblock Adam Carr. In fact, if I'm OBVIOUSLY wrong, than I guess ANY ONE of the 415 admins will reverse the block. Hmm. This is interesting. Let's see what happens. Uncle Ed
