Dear Sirs, The day before yesterday (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pedidos_a_administradores/Discuss%C3%A3o_de_bloqueio/Arquivo/2009/05#NH), while discussing a private case, whose full details are confidential, I described a strictly hypothetical case as follows:
Suppose a tetraplegic girl learns how to use a computer and finds out about Wikipedia. After registering as a user she does all sort of trampling. Would there be any administrator willing to block her from editing Wikipedia? Three administrators, one of them a bureaucrat and member of arbitration committee have answered YES. The administrator bureaucrat later quoted <http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Non_discrimination_policy>Wikimedia:Non discrimination policy, explaining that that policy did NOT allow them to treat editors differently, based on their [...] medical condition. <http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct_Policy>Wikimedia:Code of Conduct Policy was also quoted. I wonder if you would care to comment on all of the above. Sincerely, Virgilio A. P.
