He blocked himself. Don't worry Brion, I'm getting the joke, even if no-one else is.
I used to block myself all the time on my work computer. But it wasn't a joke - my work productivity was on the line. :)

I heard that on en wikipedia there is now a rule against blocking yourself. I'm tempted to violate it just to see if I get hauled before the ArbCom. :-)

What happens if someone violates it? Do they get blocked? ;)

From the top of my talk page:
---- Hi.
You recently self-blocked, apparently due to a wish to depart Wikipedia for a time.
Self-blocking is not permitted, see Wikipedia:Blocking policy. I have removed the block.

...so the truth is you get UNblocked as punishment!
Really, that is absurd...

Not really. The rationale is that it clogs the block log and adds unnecessary confusion. And if someone really wants an extensive wikiholiday, they should apply for de-adminning.
this doesn't remove the edit link ;-)

I have to agree with Mark. It's well within the finest tradition of that theatre.

I would be forced to make an out of policy ban against you for trolling.
