Well, I believe I have on a community member hat, too, although I may be sitting in a corner with it right now. Are you familiar with the details of my block extension for "evasion"? First, it was made by an admin who possibly should *not* have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#When_blocking_may_not_be_used because of his involvement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators#Involved_admins. Second, I explained that it was not me (the last/best yesterday https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Lightbreather&diff=637210976&oldid=637195908.) And third, and most convincingly, an (often) opponent of mine explained that he didn't believe it was me. Still, the involved, blocking admin decided to apply Occam's razor over the benefit of the doubt - or good faith, in WP terms.
On a separate note, this makes me wonder about something: Is an editor allowed to request an RFC/U on themselves?
I do know why you were blocked, and I think it was appropriate, and I'll leave it at that except to point out that the rule was instated in 2007 or 2008 because editors were making a mockery of arbcom cases and other key discussion spaces by using multiple accounts/editing logged out/pretending to be someone else/etc.
And no, there's no point in asking for an RFC/U because RFC/U has now been deprecated:

You could try an editor review, although that will focus primarily on editing rather than other issues.
