Should such a thing happen you need to follow the dispute resolution procedures. Emails to arbitrators will get you in if you are blocked.

Hello,
I have a question regarding administrator privilege abuse: What mechanism exists to prevent administrators from blocking users with whom they disagree in a content dispute? AFAIK a report should be filed on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:RFC/ ADMIN#Use_of_administrator_privileges but a blocked user cannot do so before his block expires and for an indefinitely blocked user, it will never be possible using regular means. I don't think it's in the interest of Wikipedia to let administrators have a final say in a content dispute by blocking disagreeing parties for disruption (vaguely defined as posing a threat to the normal functioning of Wikipedia) or vandalism (which btw. requires them to assume bad faith as per WP:VANDAL).
Thank you for your comments
