Difficult as it is to defend Kurt, I was under the impression that this
*was* one of the proper channels.
Don't we tell people, if you can't get a different admin to unblock you
probably deserve to be blocked? Seems a bit unfair to then say to a
blocked user that he shouldn't have come to a list he knows
admins-other-than-the-blocker read and ask to be unblocked.
