No, I meant if the same person comes back to editing from the same IP after the block expires  you can't prove that it's the same person, so it would be quite impossible to enforce the sort of indef ban which Nil Einne proposes.  (BTW, I am still the same person who was blocked for that outburst  and I do NOT object to the 2-week block itself because it serves me right for what I said, but I do strongly object to Nil Einne's proposal because: (1) it can't be enforced, as I've just pointed out; (2) it constitutes double jeopardy  after the length of a ban has been reduced, you can't increase it again without further wrongdoing on the banned user's part; and (3) there's evidence of hostile animus behind Nil Einne's proposal  when making his case for an indefinite ban even after the block expires, he specifically cited ""highly pro-American (& American right wing) POV (and other stuff) in their posts (which also seems to be implied in their novels)"" (for the record, Nil Einne himself has a track record of promoting a third-worldist, anti-colonialist, and on at least one occasion specifically anti-American POV). 24.5.122.13  "
