I was trying to help you. Admins insulting users is a greater problem than vandals, because Admins are often the cause of vandals.

When I became admin, I "inherited" a persistent multi-IP vandal from the previous, immature, admin who had been using insults and other inciting comments in his block summaries. After I used more effective blocks with neutral block summaries, the vandal got bored and stopped. That hasn't been a problem. In the past year, the only vandals we've had (other than this guy) have just been the random IPs who show up, do some random vandalism and then leave after a ban. Look at the ban forums I linked and you'll see that this guy has been a problem because of his attitude, not how other users treat him. Even if you don't like the way the admins work you shouldn't just refuse to help with a vandal like him.
