 :::I finally, reluctantly, blocked that anon. I hate having to do that. I don't like using any of the admin tools unless absolutely needed (except the rollback function: when reverting obvious vandals on recent changes patrol that can be kinda fun). I was going to ask another admin to do the blocking because he made me a little angry. But then he started going through my edit history (sic) and reverting my recent edits (good grief the wild west never ends around here).  

 :::And to be accused of being on a power trip is hard to swallow. Fortunately two other admins have reviewed and oked my action. I wonder... if I'm guilty of anything, it's not being power happy, it's guilty of caring too much. I'm starting to really ask myself why I care so much. I only wanted to be on a short time to check messages, etc. but I saw that and couldn't walk away from it.  

 :::Anyway the fireworks over Brian Peppers are now less than a fading coal, at least on my side of the field. Even us grown men can be so adolescent with our tempers... BUt lack of nonverbal communication (facial expression, voice tone, etc.) can create an impersonal feel similar to that which causes road rage. I bet there may even be an article on ""Internet rage""... Beat ya to it!  "
