Actually no. I am blocked because some admins don't
like the idea of users checking what they are doing.
Blocking people for constructive editing and checking
is harrassment. Let's call that spade a spade.
Admins fullfill a public function. If they can't stand
that function being scrutinised then they shouldn't do
it. It would be like a congressman trying to jail a
constituent for watching how they vote and writing
letters. It's low down and smacks of censorship.

You're harassing. You
know that you're harassing. We know that you're
harassing. So let's
call a spade a spade, shall we?

And I cannot imagine why anyone would want to
present such a blatantly silly
strawman argument.
Oh wait, yes I can.
Jay.
Erm, you have managed to completely ignore the
question of why I am being blocked for
scrutinising
what an admin is doing. Of course, it is taboo
to
suggest that admins need any oversight.
Please. Follow policy, common sense, and natural
justice and let users check other's edits and make
subsequent improvements.
