==Question from Mackensen==
You've indicated above support for the Code of Conduct, while implying that it and the Bill of Rights could be rendered simply as "use common sense." I agree with that view. Taken with your views on Ignore All Rules and WP:BOLD, how do you feel about the following statement: ''administrators wear two hats; that of a sysop and that of an editor. An editor is bold, and may ignore all rules, but a sysop does so at his peril. A good administrator always remembers which hat he is wearing.'' --[[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 00:30, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
* ''An administrator caught wearing both hats on in an editing dispute, gives people the feeling no different from being caught as a two-timer.'' I see sysop powers more as a janitoral tool, in which a good sysop will always remember to set them aside when one goes editing as an editor. - [[User:Mailer diablo|Mailer Diablo]] 13:55, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
