I don't think there is any legitimate reason to be pissed off here. I correctly identified some serious problems in an article, correctly removed it from the list that is supposed to represent our best articles, correctly alerted about half the community, and correctly followed up by working to resolve the issues.
And for a bonus, I educated some people on this mailing list in how it is possible, in a wiki, to do things quickly and without red tape.
This is value for money, particularly as I don't demand remuneration. What's to complain about?
Welcome to the real world, where human beings don't calculate the costs and benefits of actions and scream "OMG UNILATERAL ADMIN ABUSE" when you are bold and perform a revertable action. As I said, there were non-abrasive ways of handling the situation and accomplishing the same or almost the same result. Even the way you word your messages helps; you may be right, but hitting people over the head with a tone like "Haha, I'm right and you're not! Why don't you realise this?" isn't helpful.
Sheesh! You want cute and cuddly? You have to pay me more.
