He will not help build an encyclopedia, therefore he should be
blocked, regardless of his crimes on the wiki itself. There are no
absolute laws on wikipedia, and I think this is a valid use of WP:IAR

Actually IAR is not a policy at all, it's just an absurd joke, and the
root of more foolishness than is worth discussing, not some sort of
trump card. We DO have absolute laws on wikipedia, and they described
at :
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Foundation_issues
A few that apply to this situation are: "Ability of anyone to edit
articles without registering", "NPOV as the guiding editorial
principle", and "Jimbo Wales as ultimate authority on any matter (this
is changing; see Arbitration Committee, Board)".
This situation was NOT covered by blocking policy, and was a wrongful
block by an admin. The proper procedure would have been a discussion
on Amelekites talk page, and then perhaps a RfC or RfM.
