I don't think Cyde should have blocked you, given that he is the
person who made the TFD requests which you disputed. However, please
do understand that creating accounts apparently solely for the purpose
of voting is generally frowned upon. I can also understand the
suspicion of sock puppetry given that the issue you commented on,
userboxes, is one which is dominated by a lot of trolling and noise,
and is generally a highly Wikipedia-internal affair.

I am more inclined to believe that you are acting in good faith now
that you have shared your identity. Where does your interest in
commenting on this issue come from? Do you intend to contribute to
Wikipedia beyond sharing your opinion on this issue?
