Reverting copyrighted material should not count as 3RR violation. Now I agree that RickK should have refrained from blocking other users in the dispute and waited for a different admin. I for one am sad to see contrarian editors/admins go. There seem to be several editors at the [[GAP Project]] that have done things that were inappropriate - improperly undeleting a page, etc. If you ask me what is good for the goose is good for the gander. If RickK's deserves some type of 24 hour block in the name of treating admin's equally, those that misused the admin tools should also be blocked a minimum of 24 hours.

Also agree with Ed.
Rick knows the rules - and no-one is above them. So I have no idea why he acted in a manner that would get himself blocked - only he knows. Then he gets upset over it after deliberately brining it on himself - huh?!
And I've never been impressed by these desperately attention-seeking public exits. People join and leave Internet communities all the time. Most don't feel the need to be a prima donna though. Those that do tend to return quite quickly.

Ed is spot on, and couldn't be more right about such whinging. Admins shouldn't be above the law, and precious few of us are here to experience an online soap opera of hysterical emotionalism. Its just an encyclopedia, get over it already...

Really? Good riddance. You've caused far more trouble than you've been worth.
Even the way you're leaving is an example. You could have appealed to soft-hearted old Uncle Ed. But, no, you've got to run off in a snit.
But if you change your mind, let me know. "For there is more rejoicing", etc. for the lost sheep.
