Really? Most historical problems with "wheel wars" have been due to the problem that it is tricky to block an admin who doesn't want to be blocked.
I don't know what that means. The wheel war problem is caused by people taking it upon themselves to undo other people's admin actions, simply because they disagree with them. As Kate said, it often boils down to an ego problem, the presumption of knowing better.
Respecting someone else's judgment is not the same as them "owning"
the block or >protection or edit.
Functionaly the difference is?
You can strongly disagree with an admin action, but at the same time realize that perhaps the original admin knows more about the situation than you do; or perhaps knows just as much but has better judgment in this case; or perhaps neither of these, and you'll just have to agree to differ. Just as we can't always have our own way when editing, we also can't always have our own way when adminning.
