I'll save this one for requoting in the future.  Admins do shoot back,
all of the time, they escalate things, the dance around direct
questions leading to needless chatter.

I thought it was just a mop and bucket, and no big deal, not a
requirement for perfection.

I do agree this is one rule admins should follow, though: don't shoot back.
