Because we are not prepared to break the rules for you, because we believe 
in playing fair. It is not a ban because you are able to edit the minute you 
drop the open proxies. If you look at our other "banned" users, none of them 
has such an easy (well, I don't know that) way back to editing. Ergo, you 
are not banned.

Now, for the love of God, please stop going about this. It's fricking 
tiresome. We're just going round in circles here, and we're not going to get 
out of the circles, seeing as you're blatantly in denial.
