Hello. Blocks that are set without any poor behavior, "out of spite" as you called it, do not count against you for an adoption. The only time it might would be if you responded to the block with threats or intimidation or otherwise poor behavior. From what you describe, you should be fine to make your adoption request.

Having said all of that, admins are not allowed to prevent demotion votes on their wiki by blocking users or deleting the conversations; if you were blocked for starting one then you need to let us know through Special:Contact with links and more details.
