Interestingly, there is no FAQ for this list. That's somewhat rare for such a large list. Then again, what would the questions look like:
Q: Admin X is trying to oppress my neutral point of view! A: No he's not. Fuck off.
... and something similar happens on Wikipedia and the #wikipedia@freenode IRC channel. Blocked users (generally newbies) join the channel to complain against their blocking admins. They are provoked and goaded into retorting badly and then one of the chanops has an excuse to boot them out of the channel. That's not general human behaviour, that's demeaning, dehumanising and inconsiderate trolling from WikiNerds who don't have a social life.
