Netoholic blocking (was Re: [WikiEN-l] Re: Re: Re: Re: VfD isbroken)

The relevant policy is at 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#Disruption>, which 
says in part:

"Sysops may, at their judgement, block IP addresses that disrupt the normal 
functioning of Wikipedia. Such disruption is to be objectively defined by 
specific policies, and may include changing other user's signed comments or 
making deliberately misleading edits. Users should be warned that they are 
violating policy before they are blocked."

And, BTW, the warning has now become a discussion. See:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Netoholic#Warning_re:_refactoring>
and
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Netoholic#refactoring> for the 
previous discussion that led up to this.

Thanks,
Brian (BCorr)
