Fair enough. I have no questions on the older blocks. Have been looking into
things a bit more. Tariqabjotu has been kind enough to link me to evidence
supporting the allegation of block evasion:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/RunedChozo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/70.114.237.14

If we compare the two, they look pretty similar, to me.
70.114.237.14appears to have been used to evade the block on
RunedChozo, as it references
the same dispute, uses some of the same language, and shares the same sorts
of behavior. It's also worth noting that the vitriol, attacks, and insults
coming from 70.114 are far more severe than those from RunedChozo. Looks
like block evasion and serious attacks, to me?

JoshuaZ expressed some concern that 70.114 might have been another anon user
who caused problems, in the past. Sounded like he was considering a
checkuser request to try and sort out for sure whether they're the same
person, but I shouldn't speak for him in that regard.

Also, just as I finished typing this, Tariqabjotu let me know that he's
submitting a checkuser request.
