It could be you were locked out of xmarks and not the others BECAUSE you spend so much time here and not the other sites. URLs and bandwidth are monitored and frequently the sites with the most hits get excluded first.

There are proxy sites that will load up any site you need in a frame that conceals the content you are viewing but, as Warhoover said, it's not worth your job. I have a rather vigorous proxy server here that cuts half the pics out of the posts on this site and limits any web pages with even vaguely objectionable tags. I have admin rights to the servers and I definately COULD circumvent the proxy server easily but the Powers That Be have decreed what we can and cannot view so I abide by it whether I agree with it or not.
You might want to ask permission to remove this site from the filter. It is non-offensive and shouldn't be considered a bother to anyone. At the very least, you can find out why it was added to the block list.
