It's pretty easy to say "thuggish admins

needed are specific examples and cases.
And the fact that examples are usually lacking when this sort of

far too patient with someone not warranting it and eventually blowing
their top - means such complaints are generally taken no notice of.
There is no doubt in my mind that some of what has
been raised in this
thread is valid. As the community has grown, it has become harder to
maintain the distinction between the kindness and love of Wikipedia and
the hostility you find in most of the Internet.
