Though, in the "some animals are more equal than others" environment 
of Wikipedia, there's a handful of powerful people (sometimes termed 
the "clique" or "cabal") who, if they decide that some banned user is 
Evil Incarnate, will promptly add to their Enemies List any admin 
that dares to unblock such a user, try to shame that admin into 
reversing the action, and agitate for the desysopping or banning of 
the non-groupthink-compatible admin if he/she resists that.
