Jay, if this user was to write on the Stormfront noticeboard "Sorry
guys I've changed my mind. Let's edit our own encyclopaedia and leave
Wikipedia alone." would you unblock him?
Lisa, perhaps I didn't make this clear enough: I didn't block him.
SlimVirgin has already said if you disagree with the block please write to
SlimVirgin or Homeontherange ...
Lisa, please drop me a note in private if you have concerns about
this. Just to make clear once again: he was blocked for posting the
list of editors on the other website. The relevant part of the
blocking policy is this:

I feel that Amalekite exposed the people on his "hit list" to
potential religious or ethnic persecution outside Wikipedia by posting
on an anti-Semitic website a list of Wikipedians he believes are Jews.
Some of the user names allow those people to be traced using only
online information. For me, it was enough to warrant a block. This
kind of behavior has nothing to do with writing an encycylopedia.
I probably won't respond again to this topic, though I'd be happy to
hear from anyone offlist. I just wanted to link to the relevant part
of the blocking policy for those of you who still have concerns.
