If we're talking about all involved being balanced and mature, sure. But as the quote goes, individuals can be smart, but *people* are stupid panicky animals…

AND, many online subscribe to a myth that they are entitled to "fairness". The problem is, "fairness" is most often individual-centric; "fairness is what is best for me". Especially in Western societies where the individual is elevated above the group.

See, wikis are like countries. No two have exactly the same laws and community makeups. IRL, we accept that when we go to another country we should take a look at the laws there, but when most change from one wiki to another, there is little thought given to Rules maybe being different. Thus the myth of "fair treatment".

Would it be nice? Definitely. Will it happen? Mostly. But not always.

And same goes for the analogy of Admins=to rulers. Not the same, wiki/country to wiki/country.
