Since this happens often, and since Danny is good, I would support hardcoding (if necessary) for Danny's special case.
Or, is Danny a sysop? If not, why not? Can't sysops edit even under an ip ban? If not, they should be able to, if for no other reason than self-defense even if some bad person gains access to a sysop account and tries banning other sysops.

I am getting the "you are blocked" message again. Let me clarify. I am not Michael. This is frustrating.

Danny is indeed a sysop (on [[en:]] at least). For purposes of self defense, note that banned sysops can still unban people. (This assumes that the ban is only by IP address, however.)
