Amen to that. Sadly (and to name names), a certain administrator  
whose name begins with "T" and ends with "ony Sidaway" has, in the  
past, been allowed to (and even congratulated for) reverting other  
administrators' actions multiple times while the ruling culture  
derides any criticism of this as "lynching".

My point? Any prohibition against wheel warring must be *objective*  
and *applied across the board*. Unless every case, without exception,  
of violating any wheel-warring policy is met with immediate  
desysopping (pending further review) then the wheel-warring policy  
will be selectively enforced to enable certain administrators to  
"win" wheel wars against unfavored administrators.
