The IP address you were using, 62.252.0.4, has a long
history of nothing but vandalism. The IP has been warned time and time again. Your
addition of the weasel words "It is claimed that members of the [[al-Qaida]] militant
[[Islamism]] group hijacked four aircraft." and "The '''attacks of
September 11, 2001''', are described by the Ubited States Government to be a
series of coordinated [[terrorism|terrorist]] attacks against the [[United States]] "
was read as more of the same.
That IP address is
glfd-cache-1.server.ntli.net - a proxy for NTL, a huge
cable broadband provider in the UK. Blocking NTL proxies is not quite as
broad in its effects as blocking an AOL proxy - it tends to be per
geographical area, rather than possibly almost any user and not necessarily
the one you blocked - but does take out rather a lot of people as
collateral damage.
So such blocks, when necessary, should (I suggest) be applied for 24 hours
maximum and, most importantly, with a clear reason to explain the problem
to anyone blocked inadvertently.
