So, I'm wondering whether this is a shaggy dog

this to [[WP:BJAODN]], but a fellow administrator referred me to this list.
All I know is... if *I* was able to make a sandbox edit of "Tor proxy ~~~~"
using his IP, anybody could just as easily the IP for abusive purposes.
Suffice it to say I don't know what to tell the guy.
Well, for what my opinion is worth (I'm not a Wikimedia admin, but I've
been on the net for about 23 years) the writer doesn't sound like a) an
idiot, or b) a kook. He may be slightly uninformed technically (though
I'm not sure I even think that), but...
Let me make sure I'm following your perception: he says the HTTP proxy
which is blocked a) isn't his, b) isn't easily avoidable c) causes
collateral damage and d) is "safe", and you believe one or more of
those assertions to be factually inaccurate?
