whomever bans shall be sentenced to death
Once some administrator, for whatever biassed reason, decides to block a user, the user has an exceptionally hard time getting unblocked, if at all.
Who decides whether that user gets unblocked? The exact same people that are the least likely to unblock (moderators / administrators), because they tend to be controlled by confirmation bias and authority bias. Not all of them, but many.
Even if the suspended user has logical and rational arguments , and presents those in a formal and sincere way (if he even can, and has not already been conpletely suppressed), moderators and administrators tend to be intrinsically reluctant to unblock.
They may not even review the request in first place. Also, instead of embracing constructive criticism, they silence it.
