@ScottishFinnishRadish I don't know if I am missing something but the ip seems to have only one contribution (unless there was oversight) and only asked a question, a very pointy, controversial, and seemingly accusatory question but a question. I don't understand the motive for the block. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 06:57, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose of a block is to prevent disruption. An IP showing up to Make personal attacks with their only edit is pure disruption and harassment. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:09, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The ip had a concern and asked a question regarding their concerns. Yes, their question was accusatory in nature but it was a question regarding the accusation. Questioning itself in general is not disruption and the ip should have been answered instead of blocked, in my opinion.

Per WP:NOTCENSORED,

Wikipedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive‍—‌even exceedingly so. Attempting to ensure that articles and images will be acceptable to all readers, or will adhere to general social or religious norms, is incompatible with the purposes of an encyclopedia.

Although it continues with, Content will be removed if it is judged to violate Wikipedia's policies (especially those on biographies of living persons and using a neutral point of view) or the law of the United States (where Wikipedia is hosted),

per WP:NPLT,

In handling apparent legal threats, users should seek to clarify the poster's intention, explain the policy, and ask them to remove the threat. That users are involved in a legal dispute with each other is not a reason to block, so long as no legal threats are posted on Wikipedia.

If even a perceived legal threat is not a reason to block, I don't know why you felt the need to block for a question. When we consider controversial questions to be disruptive to the point to block and suppress people questioning, I think there are deeper issue that should be seriously pondered about.

You introduced the reason of disruption, can you point out the specific text you have in mind you believe is relevant to this case?

You may be wondering why my interest in this case. Censorship is one topic of interest of mine and I was watching Specifico's page, where ip editor posted. Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 00:31, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
