I note that you completely ignored the first complaint, that of users trying
to get a longtime user of Wikipedia banned for speaking up on WP:ANI about
abuses by administrators and their complete refusal to answer questions
posted there.
In fact, your approach in general seems to be to attack someone for bringing
valid complaints. This does not speak highly of you.

Reading those two emails confirmed exactly what I thought they would
contain. This user is very rude (calling the admin abusive is the
least of it), disrespectful and generally trollish. Also, at least the
second one of his claims (the only one I looked at, briefly) was
complete BS.
Let's take a look at this in depth, shall we? I find your remark of
"complete BS" to be dismissive, rude, and unhelpful.
Basis of the complaint:
#1 - "Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington" blocked user:PSPMario. Factually
true:
07:40, 17 February 2007 Sir Nicholas de
Mimsy-Porpington<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sir_Nicholas_de_Mimsy…
Talk<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sir_Nicholas_de_Mimsy-Porpin…
contribs<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Sir_Nicholas…)
blocked "PSPMario <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PSPMario>
(
contribs<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/PSPMario>…
(account creation blocked) with an expiry time of indefinite
(
Sockpuppet<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser…
)
#2 - "Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington" removed the unblock request:
Factually true.
Diff for original unblock request:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APSPMario&diff=108…
Diff for removal (also the point where Sir Nicholas redirects page):
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APSPMario&diff=108…
#3 - Unblock request was valid. I am copying the unblock request text here:
"I am no sockpuppet and I demand a REAL checkuser, one I can see. This was
pure bullshit. Unless someone was editing from my house which I REALLY
DOUBT, then the only conclusion is that someone lied about the checkuser
result."
This looks like a valid complaint to me.
#4 - "Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington" then locked the user's talk page
after redirecting it to the userpage: Factually true.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APSPMario&diff=108…
I see this as a completely valid complaint. Not only does Sir Nicholas
remove a valid unblock request when he's the blocking admin - which is a
SERIOUS violation, or at least should be - he then not only locks the talk
page, but redirects it elsewhere.
This makes it that much more difficult for someone trying to track down
what's going on to get to the right place, since linking to the talk page no
longer works properly.
There are no words for this other than abuse of power.
