i agree that it's a contentious statement but don't you see that it's equally contentious to assert that i clearly acted in ways which were at best likely to mislead others i'm under no obligation that i'm aware of to explicitly call out that the various ip addresses i use are all being used by me that said i've also never denied it frankly no one has seemed to have a problem figuring it out so i'm not sure anyone's been seriously mislead to begin with i'm not hiding my writing style or anything e g my use of wikipedia being my reading use as is made clear by the statement those orange banners are annoying i didn't evade the block until such point when i thought it had been communicated that editing under a different ip wouldn't be considered evasion as user dennis brown pointed out to me ip addresses aren't humans they're more akin to telephone numbers it follows that a block applied to a telephone number applies to that telephone number if the intention was to stop me personally from editing wikipedia shouldn't it have been a ban also you must be aware that statements like to twist logic in your defense fail to agf at this point i'm pretty sure that everyone has taken it as granted that i'm being deceptive simply by choosing not to register for an account if that's the case this really doesn't seem like the encyclopedia that anyone is encouraged to edit boldly also you're misconstruing what i admitted see above lastly and this relates to all of your points in general you yourself said that it was reasonable to invoke iar above in order to improve wikipedia despite the block if that was the case for calling attention to a bad edit why not a bad policy
