[WikiEN-l] Civility poll results

[Emily Monroe]

Hmm. What about somebody who has privileges?

Clearly somebody who has non-admin rollback (like myself) may or may  
not have it removed. It would depend if the person being incivil is  
using the rollback to be incivil. Non-admin rollback is a position of  
trust, but not a lot of trust.

An admin, steward, or bureaucrat, on the other hand, may have their  
privileges taken away. If you are in such a position, you're in a  
position of not just trust, but *trust*. Incivility takes away that  
trust.

People may disagree with me, though. I get that.
