What are the cases where a range block is the best option? How is discriminating based on ISP justifiable at all, barring technical noncompliance?
It's irrational because it goes against a stated principle of Wikipedia.
- howenterprisey 4y agoI don't have any cases handy off the top of my head, but lurk en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AIV for a while and I'm sure some will come up. It's just discriminating against ranges that happen to correspond to IPs. There's no principle that says that's not allowed. Re principle, you can always make an account. See the top-level replies to the story from humanistbot and disruptiveink.
