No, an ethical violation would have been an admin blocking you himself. 172 and Natalina are acting as editors of the Communism article, not as admins, even though one of them (both?) has that status. WP:AN/3RR is open for anyone to report 3RR violations, not just for admins. Everyone is accountable. 172 and Natalina are not my "friends", and I don't recall the last time I've had contact with either of them on the Wiki. 

 I won't be unblocking you. Sorry. Wait out the block and return to the talk page to discuss your proposed edits in a civil manner, and this won't happen again.
