I'd love to.
Unfortunately, Gerard has made perfectly clear that any contradiction of his
behavior is punishable by summary banning from Wikipedia. So, I could
theoretically revoke such a block, but (a) Gerard or one of his flunkies
would just reestablish it anyways and (b) they would impose penalties upon
my own account for doing so.
As he is one of Snowspinner's protectors, you're stuck.
Sucks to be this way but those in power don't care about policy unless they
can use it as a bludgeon to smack someone with.

Subject: [WikiEN-l] Abuse of admin powers by David Gerard and Snowspinner
Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2005 10:21:45 -0700 (PDT)
User:Norrath was block by David Gerard for "admitted
sockpuppet and role account". This account is indeed a
sockpuppet of a user in good standing, created to
protest other blocks caaried out abusively by
Snowspinner. The account was declared as a sockpuppet,
in accordance with Wikipedia policy (which does not
prohibit this) and the only edits were polite
questions to Snowspinner about why he did not follow
policy.
It is outrageous that admins block users simply for
making legitimate requests for explanation from other
admins about why they did not follow policy.
Please help.
Norrath
