Blocked

I am sorry, but I have had to block this account pursuant to our username policy. We do not permit usernames that impersonate well-known public figures. It is unlikely that you are, in fact, Barney the Dinosaur, and if you are, we would need to receive proof of this fact. It is especially unlikely that you are Barney because his hands, as shown on television, lack fingers and couldn't type. And assuming you are not actually Barney, your username violates our policy of no personal attacks, because you accuse Barney of being "overweight" whereas his weight is actually within normal limits for a dinosaur of his species and height.

Decline reason:

I am declining your request for unblock because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that
