== AE and a newbie's block == 

 Hi! I wanted to leave my comment on the indef. block on Ryk72 at AE, but it was closed by you when I went there. WP:AE#Phoenix7777. Then I saw this 

 and I left message at 
  and  
 . Secret replied 
 this, but he didn't leave the message he said he would post and he is now retired. I know it's none of my business, but the block seems to be too harsh to me. I think topic ban for 3/6 months would be appropriate. Where can I ask about the validity of the block?  ANI? It would be grateful if you could give me a suggestion. Thank you.
