Sorry, I should have read Alphax's post more closely before hastily
agreeing to part of it. Of course admins do a great job, they're
dedicated to Wikipedia and passionate about its cause, for the most part
they stick to the rules and strive for community consensus in everything
they do. There have been cases where admins have violated policy,
lashing out in the heat of the moment, and I think those cases call for
punishment in proportion to the crime.

In this particular case, I don't think Silsor is guilty of any crime
apart from bruising a fragile ego.
