Netholic is not an IP address, however - he's a logged in user, and he
certainly doesn't qualify as a "new" account, which is a criterion for
blocking logged in users under this policy.
Not saying I don't think he's a problem - just pointing out once again
that we do need more options in the blocking policy, because as it
stands the rules don't leave any room for dealing with this.

The relevant policy is at
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#Disruption>,
which says in part:
"Sysops may, at their judgement, block IP addresses that disrupt the
normal functioning of Wikipedia. Such disruption is to be objectively
defined by specific policies, and may include changing other user's
signed comments or making deliberately misleading edits. Users should
be warned that they are violating policy before they are blocked."
And, BTW, the warning has now become a discussion. See:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Netoholic#Warning_re:
_refactoring>
and
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Netoholic#refactoring> for the
previous discussion that led up to this.
Thanks,
