"What if a user and an admin get into an argument…"

Well, what if you get into an argument with a Policeman? What do you expect to happen?

If you get into an argument with someone who wields any sort of authority, whatever makes you think you'll fare well with it? Now, true that the police have a structure of superior officers above them, so that doesn't fully track with admins, but the principle of the analogy is still pretty sound. Sure *eventually* you might be able to overturn actions by abusive officers, such as being arrested unfairly. But chances are you'll spend some time in lockup. And no matter how vindicated you might be at the end, you'll still have had a harsh experience you could have avoided just by respecting the "my au-tor-i-tay!" beit police or admins.
