The enormous frustration, disruption, and harm to Wikipedia that Vera
Cruz creates is perfectly clear.
The probability of successfully negotiating with her to effect a
reform is equally clear: near enough to zero
as makes no difference. She shows not the slightest sign of being
able to reform, and every sign of being
able to evade and make a mockery of any and all attempts to restrain
her: indeed, she obviously delights
in them, and goes out of her way to court them. An IP ban is the only
practical response, and is probably
in any case inevitable. The sooner the better.
Vera Cruz posted to mav's talk page a ranting (and quite redundant and self-pitying) Faulknerian screed which mav (rightly, I think) refused to read. The interesting thing about this is that she did so while not logged in, and from the IP address 172.130.118.81 . The temptation to ban her immediately was quite strong. Now, this morning, I did ban her.
It occurs to me that Vera might *also* be user:172. If so, I'd say she's been having us on even better than I thought. what is the rest of 172's IP?
cheers,

Good.

I doubt this, but it's possible I suppose.
Vera is back --

172.130.118.81 is an aol ip number : 2 solutions : 1 Vera Cruz and 172 have the same provider and sometime they get the same dynamic ip. 2 Aol use a proxy/cache....

Has Jimbo unbanned Lir?
No, Lir is banned. I'll make sure everyone knows about it if I change my mind, but that's increasingly less likely with antics like this.
