The mods of this list are conservative in their interpretation,
allowing people the benefit of the doubt long after some of us have
written them off as a bad job.  I join the small chorus backing your
sound judgment on this.

For my money, a properly stated case against an admin from an editor
with a history and a decent reputation is never a problem.  The vast
majority of complaints about admin behaviour are generic "rouge admin
abuse" crap and can safely be ignored, especially if they can't bring
themselves to state it in a civil manner.  Sounds like this lot fails
on both levels.
