That may possibly be true Garland, but I think it can be remedied. This whole situation was sort of a catch 22. The admins had been hard on John and others, so they would misbehave more. John had misbehaved quite a bit in the past, so he was watched more closely and we became hard on him. It progressively got worse as the admins got harder and the users misbehaved more. If both agree to ease off that will not only slow the progression but hopefully reverse it. If the admins are not over-hard/biased towards John and the rest, they will not be unhappy and feel the need to act out. In turn, if they do not act out we will not feel the need to be over-hard and watch them more closely.
