Think about this a bit more. Being blocked hurts. Is it so much of a 
stretch of imagination to realise that (for some if not most people) 
being excluded from adminship also hurts? It is, after all, functionally 
the same as being "blocked" from the extra features.

People probably don't realise this readily because it's a qualitatively 
different kind of hurting -- it's not a singular event like being 
blocked or a page being deleted, which is like a stab in the chest which 
may (or may not) heal. This is different; it's more like a nagging 
headache that doesn't go away.
