I mean, take a more general (and more common)

edit-war with another user, who isn't. Should we both be banned from

tools for a few days whilst he's banned for the same time period? In
the simpler case, the answer would seem to be "punish us both
equally"; why [is / should it be] it different here?
Thoughts appreciated.
If you are taking advantage of your superior privileges that's a sin
that is unavailale to the ordinary user. Equal punishment would derive
from equal guilt.

Edit warring, while of course unacceptable, is not abuse of admin tools
unless, for example, the admin blocks the editor (s)he is edit warring
with, protects the page on his/her preferred version, or uses rollback.
The "edit this page" button is available to every editor.
