From: "michaelturley@myway.com" michaelturley@myway.com I '''sincerely''' think an admin should face a temporary penalty for as little as a snide remark. Receive, perhaps not; face, absolutely.
If we're going to start sanctioning people for nasty comments, there are far more serious examples out there. As is typical, a certain group of people want to set an absurdly high code of conduct for admins, who actually contribute hugely to the project, while the daily onslaught of insults, swearing, personal attacks, and general nastiness from all sorts of non-admin editors gets ignored because we want to reform them, not scare them away. After all, with enough patience, forberance, and wikilove, some day, on some article, they might even make a valuable edit.
Jay.
