I would like to (a) begin using this account, (b) know why it was blocked. Either username is fine; capitalization is not important. DancesWithGrues (talk) 13:46, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see anything wrong with this username and would be tempted to unblock if nobody else can point out what's so bad about it. --Closedmouth (talk) 14:31, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why it's blocked either -- but why do you need both this account and the other one you're currently editing with? --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 16:04, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing wrong with this username, in my opinion. Please indicate which of your accounts you wish to retain. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 17:03, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to be able to edit articles with the account I'm currently logged in with. I can't do anything outside of this page. DancesWithGrues (talk) 17:20, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you need multiple accounts? --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 17:54, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just asked Pschemp to review the block and some comments on this talk page. ~~Awsome EBE123 ^talk_Contribs 19:04, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Most of you weren't even admins back then so you have no memory of past events. It was clearly an account created to attack User:Grue when it was created at the height of his issues with Fuzheado and others in 2007. That is why it was blocked. It is very likely still one of many accounts of a user dedicated to doing mischief, but I agree with Jpgordon, and don't see any kind of reason for multiple accounts. If the user didn't care about it for four years, why is it so important now?pschemp | talk 21:56, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I chose this account name because it was funny. That's it. I don't know anything about this quarrel, or that user. However if there's some sort of "shadow" over this name (ie. people will recognize it and react with hostility when they see it), then I don't think I want it.

I assume then that Danceswithgrues and Dances_With_Grues are also autoblocked? DancesWithGrues (talk) 10:03, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
