Basically (once again, using school as an analogy), admins are like the teachers and all the butthurt noobs who come on this site every day and break the rules and throw temper tantrums when they're punished are like the misbehaved, bratty schoolchildren that the teachers have to deal with every day. Did you know that teacher is ranked above brain surgeon as the most stressful occupation a person can hold? Up there with working parents. Wanna know why? Because, not only do they have to put up with so much bullshit on a daily basis with so little pay, but they have to put up with the constant "MAH TEECHUR IS EBIL" catcall of disrespectful, misbehaved students.

How do you think they feel about that? How would you feel if you were in their place? Now imagine how admins--who are UNPAID volunteer workers who have to deal with rulebreakers on a daily basis--feel when you harrass them for deleting your shitty spinoff or for blocking your rule-breaking ass? Good admins know that having administrative power doesn't mean you are above others and the rules, but that you are an authority on the rules and enforce them for the good of the site and its user base. They cannot and will not make special exceptions for you or anyone else who violates the rules.

Perspective, people. Get some.
