Excuse me? I am blocked because my IP was used by a vandal???? This I am assuming is another asinine attempt by a sanctimonious Admin to stop vandals by blocking an entire IP vs. the individual user... I looked at the user ( BDOG) who supposedly vandalized something and deserved a block and I noticed that he didn't even have any contributions other than the sandbox nor was he even given a vandalism warning... Curps pull your head out... This is BS and you had better have me unblocked PRONTO!
Seriously... blocking an IP address when he ( Curps) could have just blocked the user? This has got to stop... This "Admin" has repeated requests on his talk page to stop using autoblock and apparently he is quick to ban entire blocks of IPs... I will change this when I become an Admin.
Someone Please contact an Admin to correct this situation... Curps is clearly being a Dick.

Unless someone actually bothers to register a user account, we can only block the IP. Even if they register an account and we block the account instead, all the vandal has to do is not log in, in which case we're forced to block the IP. You're asking us for something we can't do.

We don't respond well to threats and personal attacks.

Generally we don't grant adminship to people with a history of incivility and personal attacks, but you have time to redeem yourself.

I don't know how serious you are being here, so I'll answer with a straight face.
No, you can't, in general. Mailing list posts are not automatically released under GDFL, as pages on the Wiki are, so the works are not appropriately licensed.
There might, of course, be a fair use claim, as always.

I speak with my tounge in cheek, but I thank you for your answer anyway. ;-)
