 Request for Admin Intervention 

I need intervention on an out-of-control admin, Johnleemk.  As the result of an arbitration case, he posted these words on a talk page: ""Lou_franklin is banned from editing this article...  The user is not prevented from discussing or proposing changes on this talk page.""  

Since it explicitly said ""The user is not prevented from discussing or proposing changes"", I did.  As a result he blocked me for 48 hours!  He apparently made a mistake posting the wording because he changed it to ""the user is prevented"" after he blocked me.  Obviously since the talk pages said I am ""not prevented from discussing or proposing changes"", it is not appropriate to ban me for doing so!

Other users (above) suggested to him that he ""ask for clarification at the relevant ArbCom page"" and ""I think it is advisable to ask clarification"" and ""since the template was misleading, the block should probably be lifted"", but he flatly refused saying ""there is nothing to clarify...  Specific rulings overrule a general template.""   I asked him to post a link to the Wikipedia policy that states that.  He could not provide one, and responded by saying ""you are rulelawyering"".  He said ""you should know better than to rely on a general template"".

When the 48 hour block was over, he blocked me again for a week!  

This time he blocked for using the word ""homo"" on a talk page.  I didn't feel that the word ""homo"" was all that offensive.  A homo is ""someone who practices homosexuality"" (see http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=homo ), which is what we were talking about.  It comes from the Greek word which means ""same"" - as in same sex.

This admin is making up rules as he goes.  Once I am unblocked I will file a complaint against him, but since he still has me blocked I can't even do that.

I need intervention on two fronts: I need somebody to unblock me, and I need somebody to mentor John.

If an admin posts that it's OK for a user to add to the discussion, it's really not reasonable for the same admin to block the user for doing so.  Is there an admin here who would be able to explain that to John?  "
