[WikiEN-l] Hypothetical question about how certain admin behavior would be handled on Wikipedia

[wikipedia2006 at dpbsmith.com]

For the record, the actual way it was handled there, their Jimbo-Wales-like-figure, who does deign to intervene in the affairs of mortals, unblocked the non-sysop, called the action overzealous, and complimented both parties (but "particularly" the sysop), on their contributions to the project.

I'm still interested in peoples' answers to my hypothetical.
