"The whole thing of "admins are not authority" is just a thing people came up with to force a sense of equality. Admins ARE authority. They are here to enforce rules. I seriously don't like how this wiki undermines admins for the sake of making them look less than what they are."

What admins are are users with more buttons, ideally. They are not set on a level separate from others, and do not have to be set on a level away from others in order to enforce the rules of the wiki. On a wiki this small, its better that admins are approachable and are not rulers who enforce rules, at least partially, through a monopoly of force.

"Which brings me to another point. More than once have I been condemned for trying to enforce rules. If we have rules, then they must be followed. If we do nothing but create exceptions, all we have is an anarchy, and we may as well not have rules at all."

Nobody who is anybody is condemning you for enforcing rules. I certainly am not. You ran into trouble with Vincent and nobody is siding with Vincent, and nobody is asking for exceptions to be made. If you are referring to the "Nyx" incident, I support your behavior there absolutely.

"As for my way of speech, this is who I am. I am not going to admit people meddling in other people's business uninvited, even more when I'm involved. So yes, I'm going to tell you to fuck off, and I fully expect you to fuck off, not as an admin but as someone who does not want to be bothered for the sake of "lol i troll u"."

I agree, Vincent had no right to be there, but there are also standards of conduct that should be followed by everybody. You did not have to escalate the situation, and Vincent didn't have to either.

In conclusion: Users are people, admins are people too. Admins should solve disputes, not govern the wiki and users should respect the admins and their experience and, in the case of a disagreement, pick their battles wisely.
