Nevertheless, the pertinent issue is whether it is against policy to edit through open proxies.
I think the most pressing issue is not the policy thing, but that someone who wanted adminship was very keen to ensure that no one, not even the Foundation, could find out anything about them. Not even the location s/he edits from, or the ISP.
Perhaps we should focus on that question: do we want any kind of minimum accountability from admins, or do we not care who they are, or that one person might easily be controlling multiple admin accounts?
If we do want minimum accountability, how do we get it? If we don't want minimum accountability, are we willing to accept the consequences e.g. that it's currently easy for a banned or malicious user to get adminship, not just once, but multiple times?
You don't know her reasons for using a TOR, so it' a bit rich to elaborate on the unknown to such a degree.
You're trying to stir up trouble with practically every single e-mail you send. I'm trying to find whether anything constructive can come of this thread, and I'm not talking about any individual case. If you have something to contribute to the issue of adminship and accountability, please do. If not, just leave it, but this endless sniping is helping no one.
