Now the Observer shouldn't be mentioned on talkpages if SV doesn't like it - isn't this straight forward admin abuse of powers in a content dispute?

Mebbe she'd be interested in writing a story about why a lot of people are similarly blocked, in a Kafkaesque charade that most of us can now recite by heart.

Think about it. Hewitt, Awbrey, Poetlister, and yours truly are all over-educated in applied mathematics, logic, systems theory, and the like. Why would a bunch of anonymous adolescents be intimidated by the likes of us?
