Blocked by whom not us and as we are a corporate customer of Telecom I don't think they would block.
This has only happened recently

Your workplace was blocked because one of the users on that IP address was being abusive - including calling names.

That ls a bit silly considering who we are.
Can you give me any info that I can track down the offender I could block anyone that is misbehaving from our end. We have a large number of staff that use your site and blocking them all seems harsh

Sorry but it's not silly. When the offending gets really bad we have no other alternative. And let me tell you, it was.

Send me an email and we can work from there.
