@XxxPitlsaxxx Yeah, I have to agree with BrutaLity. It's like when we were talking about where Jack landed on the ice before falling through, I wasn't offended at all with what we were talking about (actually, if anything, I liked it, simply because she didn't try to offend me because I had a different opinion), but she was labeled as a "flamer", or something like that (I can't remember). Right now, it kinda just seems like you're just trying to pick on her, or appear intimidating. Either way, it doesn't look good. Like, seriously, it's a really bad look for an Admin to have. Remember that you don't, in any way, at all, have to look intimidating to be a good Admin, or to be respected. It's better to be the Zen Admin then the one who overreacts. Assuming good faith is also better, remember that some of the best qualities for an Admin to have are trustworthiness, fairness, and tact, it's better to be the Admin that people can go to, then one that people are afraid to go to. Remember what I said about Admin being servants, not "bosses"? As far as I've seen, BrutaLity isn't very rude (maybe headstrong with her opinions - like me - but not rude about it), and when I talked to her I would say she's very nice. I don't see any reason why she needs a warning or needs to fix her behavior. She's actually been one of the most respectful users on this site in my opinion, considering that unlike most of the users and anons here, her first reaction to me having a different opinion was not to hate and rather have a conversation about it. Now, for the blocking, I am totally 100% against blocking being used as a threat or to intimidate, but again, that's just my opinion. So, with that said, I think that blocking should only be used as a temporary time out (like in a fight), and much less of a "punishment" (besides, it usually just angers people, especially when done wrong), and I think that long blocks should only be used for users who have caused many problems for a long time, so I completely disagree with your apparent use of intimidation when talking about blocking, but again, that's just what I think about it.

@BrutaLity Remember that you should also Assume good faith, and while I agree that she was out of line here, remember that she just became an Admin, so she probably didn't realize it was wrong. (Since I can't find the link on this Wiki or CC, I'll post it from a different Wiki) @Pitsla should also remember that Admins are NOT supposed to use their rights in disagreements, but rather only to help keep the Wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users, so yes, she was in the wrong here, but I think it's best to give her advice to help her become better, I think it's just as important, if not more, for regular users to give advice to Admins, after all, if they don't, how will the Admins ever improve and become better? They're servants to the community, and it's better for them to learn to be better for the Users, then for the Users to be better for them.

So then, my advice for Pitlsa is to read the links (and other things that the Staff say) and also to assume good faith.
