Oh, sorry, basically he had admitted he was being a troll, by going around
adding Polish names to German cities in revenge for places like Gdansk
having "Danzig" mentioned in their articles. I asked what relevance the
Polish name had to cities like Kiel or Munich, but he said it didn't matter.
(Unfortunately, as en: is down I can't find exact quotes right now.)
I really shouldn't have blocked him, of course, as I had become
semi-involved...and I know "being annoying" is not a good reason. But it
had to stop somehow.

<< 22:35, 20 Mar 2004 Adam Bishop blocked "Gdansk" with an expiry
time of 24 hours (Being annoying, minus a million points!) >>
I'd like to know why Adam did this, and I wish he had said
something about the block on the mailing list. Does every admin have the
right to temp-block a long-time contributor just for "being annoying"?
TUF-KAT asked me to be a Mediator for an issue involving
user:Gdansk, and I think I'm owed the courtesy of being informed
if an administrator blocks a party involved in a mediation.
