[WikiEN-l] More Jimbo quotes on Tor

[NavouWiki]

I don't mean to be obtuse, which arbitration case are you referring to?

Also - if I'm not mistaken, the folks editing behind the proxy, are not
banned, only the proxy is blocked.

Regards,
Navou

Because then, we won't have to tell people to change the way they
connect to the internet in order to actively contribute to a small part
of it.

Jimbo's words may not carry any more weight than anyone else's,
but the fact that you fail to see why we should allow editors to
override a TOR block implies that you *should* read them: not
for their authority, but for their logic. This is a way to ban proxies
without banning people, in line with the recent ArbCom
ruling, to allow more good-faith anonymizing proxy users
to contribute, and vanishingly less bad-faith users. The only
problem is that no one cares.
