Yup. I intend to use the arbcom ruling to its full extent. Basically, you will behave civilly or you will find yourself able to make roughly one edit a day. And I will be watching your contributions carefully.
Well you've setttled any doubts about whether or not admins get off on the "little" power that they have, congratulations. It's too bad we don't have equally immature, higher up admins to do the same to you when you act uncivilly. There's also the irony of this action you're taking here being a violation of WP:POINT.
I just love the double standard here. Apparently unless an admin does something extreme, they should not only not get blocked, but they should keep their admin status. But if I make anything that could be construed as a "personal attack", I get blocked. It's kind of strange that the admins are held to a _lower_ standard than the users are.
P.S. Reply to the list, not just me. You don't see them mailed through the list yet because they haven't been through moderation yet.

The same attitude prevails to a greater or lesser extent through any similar human community and it is hardly fair to expect WP to be some sort of Utopia. Hypocrisy, double standards, nepotism and so on are to be expected and the difficult part is not to find instances of such things occurring but to find it admitted openly.
