[WikiEN-l] Adam Bishop temp-blocked user:Gdansk

[Adam Bishop]

Oh, sorry, basically he had admitted he was being a troll, by going around 
adding Polish names to German cities in revenge for places like Gdansk 
having "Danzig" mentioned in their articles.  I asked what relevance the 
Polish name had to cities like Kiel or Munich, but he said it didn't matter. 
(Unfortunately, as en: is down I can't find exact quotes right now.)

I really shouldn't have blocked him, of course, as I had become 
semi-involved...and I know "being annoying" is not a good reason.  But it 
had to stop somehow.
