Well, maybe "entitled" is a poor word choice. But if somebody solves
more
problems than they cause, in the long run, I'm personally willing to tolerate breakdowns and depressions.

MONGO: I lost count. Slimvirgin: at least 3 instances, one of which was "if you don't ban this user I'm leaving." FloNight: at least 2 instances.
I'm sure I could hunt down others, those are just off the top of my head.

Happens in the real world too, it's just a part of life. People get frustrated, they threaten to leave, they calm down and on it goes. I know that some people like to think Wikipedia is some parallel universe where the laws of reality are suspended and a Utopian ideal is supreme, but Wikipedians are flesh and blood real people whose flesh and blood emotions penetrate the brane separating Wikiworld from the real world.
In other words, "it's life and life only".
Oh, and one more point: admins are volunteers, what's with the "abdicat[ing] their responsibilities" bs?
