Yet, equally, that does not excuse the indefinite blocking of a Wikipedian in good-standing.
Except he wasn't an Wikipedian in good standing; he had attempted to start a wheel war.
A little while back someone on IRC told me that if an admin did something outside policy, they should no longer be considered a Wikipedian in good standing, but rather a vandal, and that an admin should be able to revert them 'til doomsday without feeling any guilt.
I think he was commenting on the rash of userbox deletions in December/January, but I could be wrong.
We shouldn't twist our definitions until good admins become bad Wikipedians ... there's no telling what we might be saying to one another without knowing. A Wikipedia in which my mate on IRC isn't talking crap would be a grim Wikipedia indeed.
