Salvio, it looks to me like still requires a vote (one way or the other) or an abstention from you. Andreas JN466 19:33, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
- You're quite correct; however, there are some suppressed diffs which will probably influence my vote that need to be discussed in private with the editor in question. That's part of the reason I opposed the motion to close. Salvio 19:38, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Lightbreather block evasion
I saw your block extension due to block evasion. While it certainly does seem suspicious given the SPI findings, I think there is a possibility that this is someone stirring the pot. Lightbreather and I have has issue in the past, but she does not seem dumb enough to do something so blatant, particularly while being blocked. I note that when I look at the geolocate for the "evasion" ip, http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/69.16.147.185 it is listed as "Recently reported forum spam source" which indicates to me that it may be some sort of compromised IP, or botnet. If that is the case that implies someone really went through a lot of trouble to impersonate LB, by finding a compromised host to post from in the right location, but I thought I would point it out to you. While current participants in the case would seem to be the most likely culprits, I will also point out that Kumioko stirred the pot before with IP socking and poking a stick at LB.
