Maybe. But in both cases they had a descission to make. In both they fudged it.

No one reported him. Time is a finite resource. Cheacking for a 3RR
violation takes time. Now I can be contacted by email. You could have
used this to report CJK. You did not. Many other admins can be
contacted by email. As far as I know you did not. You were unlbocking
your self. You could have used the time to report CJK. You did not (in
fact no report against CJK was ever filed
[[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive39#3RR]]).

I'm accountable just as you are. In the overwelming majority of cases
only one side has broken the 3RR. Thus it isn't worth cheacking stuff
unless it is brought to your attention (it can easly take 15 mins to
do a complete check). For pretty clear reasons most people do make
sure to report stuff. Especially if they themselves have already been
reported.
