The Arbitrators also ruled that any administrator can block Rex071404 from any article if they rule that Rex071404's editing there is "problematic". Rex071404 was accused of trying to "own" the article on John Kerry. This is the fourth case brought against Rex071404; after the third, Rex071404 voluntarily left the site for 6 months.
