but it happens too much- We're so afraid of biting people that we'll throw the book at a seasoned editor.
e.g. when you demanded Ryulong resign from adminship for blocking your sockpuppet.
If an admin is going to hold the position, they need to be on top of things much better. Personally, if I was an admin, after such a total screw up, I would have resigned and reapplied in a few months. Why? Because it would be admiting I had completely screwed up, and that I was willing to own up to the mistake and take full responsibility for my actions.
Except for the detail that it wasn't anything like a "total screw up." Second accounts are barely tolerated at best, not a "right."
