I disagree, I see users question of admin's actions all the time, if you 
want proof just go to any one of the active admins' user talk pages and 
look, you'll see that even though they may not be the majority of 
discussions there will still be topics about their decisions whether it 
be blocking a user or reverts or protections on a page.  I would show 
you diffs but I do not feel that it would be polite to post links to 
other users' pages in this situation.
