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
