I think it's good that some administrators really don't like each other.
It means that as Wikipedia factionalises, the admin cabal won't take sides.
As Fredbauder is an admin, so should 172 and Jtdirl be.
(Hell, this philosophy goes all the way back to LMS and Cunc.)
If an admin abuses their superpowers, then let their status be revoked.
But best to avoid prior restraint.
