Notes
Normal humans: I'm not online as much as many other admins. You probably should bug another admin if you need something in a hurry.
Admins: I usually check in at least a few times a day I'm only likely to be checking in once every one to three days for a while, so if something is time sensitive, go ahead and undo or change any admin action I've taken without feeling like you have to talk to me first.

Your unblock of Sitush
I fear that your unblock may stir quite a bit of controversy, considering that the AN/I thread is still pretty active... I urge you to reconsider. I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but the fact that Sitush hasn't even responded yet concerns me over your actions. Dusti21:13, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
Nah; if we've really reached the point where an editor like Sitush is valued less than this user, and the WP:NEVERSAYANYTHINGINANGEREVER is the most important policy, where one intemperate remark results in an indef block and a long ridiculous argument about it, then WP has finally jumped the shark as an actual encyclopedia. If that really is the case, more drama doesn't matter. Although it appears WP is still fairly healthy as a MMORPG, in which case, everyone should be happy about more drama. So it's win-win. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:20, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
I do have an opinion. Good unblock, Floq. The ability to see through the smoke and noise is rare these days around here. It restores my faith that it is alive and, well..., alive, really. ty. Begoon21:24, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
No. I'm thanking you. You have no idea how it is to have to watch impotently whilst context is ignored and "justice" is doled out on the strength of a pretty much poked and baited reaction, uttered in a moment of anger, while everyone piles onto said reaction with no regard (deliberately or otherwise) for the big picture. No... hang on... you do - that's why you unblocked. ty. Begoon21:37, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
Inappropriate unblocks
There's no general problem with unblocking people, but there is a substantial problem with the way you do it. Could you have the courtesy to discuss it with people and gain a consensus that the unblock is an appropriate action? Your technique of undoing blocks without discussion or consensus forces everyone else immediately into a corner, where we either have to tolerate your action or violating WP:WHEELWAR. Your unblock of Sitush is a violation of WP:RAAA.—Kww(talk) 21:18, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
Doesn't matter: no one gave you the power to unilaterally unblock people when the blocking admin objected and there was no consensus to do so.—Kww(talk) 21:34, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
