[WikiEN-l] The more I think about my ban from Wikipedia, the more I realize how wrong it was.

But don't they usually? If user:foo is blocked/banned for doing "X"
and comes back as user:bar and does "X" again, it will eventually lead
to another block/ban. The only thing a sockpuppet accusation does is
make the second block/ban happen quicker. Even if bar is not foo, the
blocking is for doing "X".

The solution is simple. "Don't do X". An easy thing to do if said user
is here to write an encyclopedia. Impossible if he's here to do "X".
