well it's up to you i don't believe the ban was justified but it seems that hw may have been sockpuppeting to circumnavigate his block if this is so is really hurts his chances for being unblocked the block was certainly wrong and if a block had to occur if it was warranted it should have been done by some other admin one who is uninvolved if you go to arbcom please let me know although if hw is unable to participate it might be useless as he knows more about whats going on here than anyone else other than those who wouldn't want to self incriminate themselves
