Death Phoenix stated for the record:
Since Danny didn't apply the WP:OFFICE tag, does that warrant an immediate desysoping and indefinite ban? I've seen such measures only after an arbitration case. Nowhere did Danny say he was applying WP:OFFICE. If Erik got into a wheel war, fine. I've seen wheel-warring admins get desysoped (or cautioned, or whatever), but only after an arbitration case was held against them. An indef ban should certainly only come after an arbitration case.
Minor correction: even the ArbComm cannot impose an indefinite ban.
Don't let the issue here get buried under discussion of OFFICE. The issue is that Danny, while apparently acting as a common or garden variety admin, -- and not just without discussion, but rather while /actively refusing to discuss/ -- imposed a lifetime ban from Wikipedia.
Indefinite block.
While /actively refusing to discuss/.
