82.15.17.152 is the IP of one of the computers at the community lending library in Belfast City, N. Ireland. Blocking it prevents other users from the privilege of editing Wikipedia articles. Please unblock, I promise not to post anything in the articles I was previously active at anymore.
Thank you.
According to admin Gator1, this IP is being used by a banned user. Best to ask him about it.

This IP is being used almost exclusively by a single editor who is currently blocked indefinitely. There are no other recent edits from this IP except by this editor and anonymous edits matching the blocked editor's style. It seems likely that the person complaining to Mr. Spade is likely the editor who has been blocked, quite legitimately by the looks of it.

Plus it's a little unusual for someone claiming to be an innocent user coming from a shared IP to then say "Please unblock, I promise not to post anything in the articles I was previously active at anymore."
