There were more than one or two people commenting on AB's RfA, and
their beliefs were not fringe.
By the way, NOP is currently described as a *proposed* policy.
Don't be a wikilawyer.
The difference between a policy and a proposed policy is very real,
and not an unimportant legalistic distinction.
And you're right, the policy is fine as it
now stands. And so AB isn't
banned from anything. That's great; everything's sorted. Let's drop it
and
move on.
AB isn't banned from anything. But s/he is blocked from editing, so
everything isn't OK.

AB is not blocked from editing, Tor is, and from my understanding Tor
users
are allowed to use Tor nodes until they are blocked.
As far as I'm aware, AB doesn't just use a Tor node. He *is* a Tor node.
