The Day of Slack was supposed to last all year, but oh well...
It would be a mistake to not take action and always defer to the management on each special case -- truth is most cases are what they are. Theres a reason why referees let hockey players spill some blood on the floor when a fight breaks out - and perhaps this should be the temperment of anyone trying to break up an edit war... (which I think are healthy, if they are limited in time) It will never be as simple as pressing a button to stop a heated discussion.
172 broke protocol -- Erik aint perfect -- whats the big frickin stink about?

I am thankful for your handling sysop requests on
Wikipedia. This does
not include your unsysoping people with whom you had
a conflict,
without prior discussion on this list.
It is hardly accurate to describe my actions as "unsysoping people with whom I had a conflict." As a matter of fact, I made explicitly clear in my mail that I agreed with 172's assessment of the changes to [[Catholicism]]. What I did is try to enforce our existing Protected Page policy. I will not do this in the future unless there is a real emergency (a sysop protecting hundreds of pages without need etc.). Instead, I will send a mail to Jimbo and he will then inform the list if he thinks a decision is necessary.
Regards,
Erik
