Which you have been given.

Durova discussed the information - and the result was that people
agreed this was undoubtedly not a new user.  This is now established
as undisputed fact.  It's also pretty clear that they were pitching
for adminship.  What was missing was (a) any evidence of wrongdoing
and (b) and indication that Durova  was intending to block.

What you need here is Hanlon's Razor.
