The idea of blocking a whole ISP is unlikely to fly. I suspect that an admin placing such a block without agreement from the arbcom and the Foundation (cos you *know* they'd get the crap for it) would be (a) quickly reversed (b) given a slap round the head with a trout at the very least. Attention-getting blocks have worked on bodies the size of universities before (I recall two of them, both put into place by a sitting arbitrator who then managed relations with the organisations very closely), but even then it was a very last desperate resort. Throwing our weight around like that would be a PR disaster, no matter how unresponsive Verizon were being. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
