It is quite important to give the option for people to block a name in
all other projects. This is important for people to be able to have a
global identity. Forcing people to do this by hand is silly.
No one else can be [[User:Jimbo Wales]] in any language or project,
for obvious reasons. But I am not special. Everyone deserves to be
able to create and maintain a global identity.
It should be the default in all *new* cases where there is no
conflict, and it should be sought (socially and peacefully) in all old
cases.
