No, because people that are stupid enough to continue to get in a pissing contest with an admin lose.

It's hardly a contest if someone doesn't, eh?
But seriously, its not about winning or losing, its about how long i'll let someone push something before I reign it in. Trickybeck wants to go this route, we go this route. He knows where that path ends.
This is pretty sad.
If the karma camping warrants banning, then decide that on its own merits. Factoring in personal insults in a forum designated for such behavior is pathetic and infantile.
This all ties in with your distorted world view. You wish you could be some heroic medieval knight, but you can't, so you carry this fantasy over into any situation you've determined you hold power in.
If I want to "go this route, we got his route"? What is this, a duel over our honor? There's no "pissing contest." What, am I going to argue, "haha my forum powers are superior"? I criticize your professional and social interactions, and you don't like being disrespected. That's the entire "contest."
The thing you can "let someone push" is the karma camping. Which you've "reigned in." If you decide that deriding criticism or asylum-contained insults are something that needs to be "reigned in," then I believe you to be severely misguided; and I offer the advice that bristling at such things only diminishes the respect that you so desperately crave.
