1) It is important that User:BenjaminCass be unblocked, at least for purposes of editing this arbcom case. Frankly his blocking as a sockpuppet is rather absurd. Everyone seems to agree that he really is himself editing (probably from the same flat or office as User:DarrenRay, hence the checkuser result). He has offered to prove this via australian wikipedians he knows personally, or via telephone. Sam Spade 21:32, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
I just got another email from Benjamin asking to be unblocked. Could the arbiters comment on this please? Sam Spade 10:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
