Why am I blocked?

Because of collateral damage from the dog and rapper vandal. You should be able to edit with an account.

Ah, I see it's because my IP address is in a similar range to someone with whom you disagree as to the weights of various dogs. No matter, I am not this person so please remove this blockade.

So I will never be able to edit anonymously, is that correct?

Nope.Aonymous editng is impossible.

I can't; they are a remarkably pernicious vandal.

You aren't supposed to range block indefinitely. Do you have checkuser access? Collateral damage is very high in this case.

Extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary measures. I myself don't have checkuser access, but checkusers have indeed reviewed this block.

You've caught up a number of us government employees in this range. We can't register as users but feel very strongly that some information needs to be included in this discussion.

Switch to non-mobile Internet then. You can also use the request an account process to create an account. Or email me with an email adress/username combo and I can create an account.

Those are not workable options. We cannot create accounts - we need anonymity. I don't think you've balanced the equities correctly here. I will escalate through email.

Why do you not want to create an account? Your account does not need emails or other personal information, it is only used on Wikimedia/MediaWiki wikis. You won't be sent anything unless the wikis know your email.

Thanks, but that post was from five years ago ...

I did not actually expect a reply: it is only to streamline the text and remove extraneous details (or changing style of speech). It should not have been a 'new' reply, only one that I myself edited THREE years ago by now.
