Certainly not, Fred. But Jay clearly used an ultra-hot-button issue with
priviledged information that should have been privately handled to drop an
atom bomb on an RFA. Abuse of priviledge.

Why didn't he just block the Tor proxy he found? Done and done.

Are CheckUsers not automatically blocking them all if use is forbidden? I
question why not, if they aren't.
