I am not unilaterally unblocking him, but I am not prohibited from doing 
so. My decision to unblock Michael's accounts is supported by both Danny 
and Theresa Knott and falls within the "in other appropriate cases" 
guideline for unblocking. The blocks do nothing to prevent him from 
logging out, creating a new account, and then editing a different page. 
He can be blocked on sight, but it is clear that he shouldn't.
