Really? Most historical problems with "wheel wars" have been due to
the problem that it is tricky to block an admin who doesn't want to be
blocked.
I don't know what that means.

That is a real wheel war.
The wheel war problem is caused by people taking it
upon themselves
to undo other >people's admin actions, simply because they
disagree
with them.
I can't offhand think of any other reason to undo them. However that
doesn't cause wheel wars. The wheel war only gets going when the
person who has had their admin action undone tries to get it redone by
brute force.
As Kate said, it often boils down to an ego problem,
the presumption of knowing better.
Of course. And yet you object to my point where I show what rejecting
all that ego stuff means.
You can strongly disagree with an admin action, but at
the same time
realize that perhaps the original admin knows more about the situation
than you do; or perhaps knows just as much but has better judgment in
this case; or perhaps neither of these, and you'll just have to agree
to differ.
Either the action is pulled or it is not. Agreeing to differ makes no
sense in this context.
Just as we can't always have our own way when
editing, we
also can't always have our own way when adminning.
And yet you blame the person who is preventing someone from haveing
their own way.
