O common Andre .......... I do not know what it is about as I am happily obliviant of what is happening on nl.wiki ..... (I finally am swamped in work again, I was waiting for that since the Tsunami hit Thailand last year and am working away my debts. So I haven't done anything on wiki for weeks now) ..... bit we do need you. And I am sure you will be missed even though people disagree with you sometimes. People disagreeing with you do not make you need to stand down as an admin. Disagreement is healthy from time to time.
Well, the point I was bringing forward in this question was one of them - one of the other admins was vehemently opposed to unblocking someone that another admin had blocked. Another point of discussion was the long time blocking of vandals, where I was of the opinion that one should only block long time if there is repeated vandalism by apparently the same person, whereas others were of the opinion that one can also block long time if there is repeated vandalism by possibly different people from the same IP address.
Considering that, * I seem to be in the minority position at least at the second point * I misbehaved in the discussion * The person opposing me had already been moved to de-admin because of the discussion * There were remarks in the discussion that implied that admins still are considered something 'special' by some admins * This was giving me a lot of wikistress at a time I could least use it (I just started a job),
I decided to de-admin myself.
