I was suggesting that PART of the reason for the excessive hatred directed at Wikipedia and the admin community in particular are the actions of some admins.
Well, and I'm suggesting that you are busy dragging red herrings right over this issue. It is pretty much tautologous that criticism of the administration of the English Wikipedia is criticism of the admins, plus Jimbo. I think it is very naive about the Internet and its denizens to assume 'no smoke without fire applies'. Criticism of admins does not imply, necessarily, that there are admins who deserve such criticism. You do concede that some very difficult 'customers' are rightly banned from WP? And that subsequent comment from them may have a malicious component?
