Wikipedia would not work if its admins were not bold.
That's definitely something I agree with, but as I've said in various threads, there needs to be a common agreement as to the limit of when something is sufficiently controversial as to require an abandonment of being bold on that topic to allow consensus to work itself out.
Uncontroversial things should just happen. Controversial ones need time to get hashed out, or the ensuing debate starts out on harsh terms pretty much automatically.
