There are still a few of us who are willing to be that nail, Jane.

Don't bother reporting abusive admins. Nothing ever comes of it. Most are good people, but there are also a lot of officious bad apples.
However...those bad apples are not the worst of it. The problem is with all the good apples. They remain quiet and unwilling to punish the bad apples, because they fear possible retribution. So the bad apples are allowed to rot, and stink up the place.
Good apples unfortunately follow the Japanese saying: "The nail that stands up, is pounded down."
I quit Wikipedia weeks ago.
Or...did I? (evil laugh)
