Chris,
Thanks to the kind person who unblocked me.
There were two reasons. The first is that it might be seen as a conflict of interest even though I was innocent. The second is that I was blocked from all editing including unblocking as far as I understood.
Currently a block only prevents editing, it doesn't prevent use of any admin tools including rollback, protecting, blocking, etc.. See http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3801.
