I've been on Freenode since 2006.

I've been known as 'imode' for a couple of years now.

I called out Lee, and he took my nickname away. There are already abuses of power going on, and he has no legal authority over any of the infrastructure.

You're still in services DB and I'm able to use your nick. The "temporarily unavailable" error is literally that; your nick was probably recently protected by services, in which case you'd have to `/ns release` for it back.
