Hold on a bit, we've made his cat a sysop who is secretly editing the emails he receives from wikien-l to make it look like there's some sort of conspiracy against him. DON'T BREAK THE CHAIN!

Which "350 other computers" do you mean? Do you mean that you are behind a proxy of some kind, and that other people will be using the same IP address as you? This is an unfortunate consequence of the technical nature of the Internet, and there is little the management of *any* website can do about it: if it allows anonymous or near-anonymous contributions, and wants to block genuinely undesirable users (including those cases more blatantly anti-social than yours), it *will* end up blocking innocent users behind the same proxies from time to time.
for mis-using his position, and the $50,000 donated,
In what way does blocking a user make use of any of the donated money? Do you mean that the donation of money gives everyone the right to use the Wikimedia projects in any way they see fit? This is not an experiment in anarchy, it is a serious attempt to create something, so regardless of whether they are applied "fairly" (and in this case, I see no evidence that they were not) the use of rules, and a social and technical structure for enforcing those rules, is not only *compatible with* but *essential to* the cause for which people have donated money.
[I know: cue accusations of troll-feeding, but I was interested to work through the logic of these accusations.]
Legal threats are grounds for immediate blocking anyway, so you've just sunk yourself.

I don't see an actual legal threat. He said he believes there was a law broken, but did not threaten to sue over it. He threatened to make a formal complaint to The Wikimedia Foundation, but not to the court system.

Actually, he threatened to make a formal complaint to "The Wikipedia Foundation", which would certainly make things very simple for the Wikimedia Foundation. :)
Sheesh. He make it sound like he personally donated the $50,000, and Neutrality is rolling in cash!
Neutrality, can I have some of that Wikipedia money, you greedy so and so?
