@Possible, Not exactly true. I've seen many get their blocks reversed with discussions. Calm and civil ones.

And that's the trick. You don't go to the blocker huffing'n'puffing "you better unblock me, you dirty [censored] so'n'so!", cause that's never going to work.

Granted this also depends on the blocker being *willing* to chat reasonably as well, to give you half a chance, and you can't control that. What you can control is yourself. You need to be calm, civil, willing to be humble, apologetic, and as discrete as you can be.

As Sannse points out, see if there is another Admin willing to take a look. I was once unfairly blocked, and a message to another Admin "Could you review this thread and let me know if I warrant the block I got?" got it reversed when he agreed it was undeserved.
