I had thought that any of the 415 admins, having the

signed-in users, were "authorized" to use that ability to enforce the
rules - such as: [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks]]
If I'm wrong, then I hope the first thing the arbcom will do is unblock
Adam Carr. In fact, if I'm OBVIOUSLY wrong, than I guess ANY ONE of the
415 admins will reverse the block.
Hmm. This is interesting. Let's see what happens.
As far as I know, we don't have any policy to justify blocking over personal
attacks. I would suggest unblocking Adam Carr, even though his abusive remarks
in this instance are uncalled for and inconsistent with his reputation as a
fine editor. I guess everyone blows a fuse now and again.
Any chance of making [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks]] enforceable?
