Overt bullying, personal attacks and general assholery, all from a Wikipedia Administrator.

Statement by Nick
Indefinite block MJL, who is sadly devoid of any of the competency needed to be editing, is an entirely disruptive influence and who has little redeeming qualities to make their retention as an editor here remotely sensible. Nick (talk) 17:48, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

A more obvious example of how Administrators seem to think their status entitles them to be far worse, not considerably better, than the average editors, you will struggle to find.

For such a tiny comment, the sheer concentration of toxicity inherent in the boldness of the policy violations, is immense. So you can imagine the corrosive effect of his 20,000+ comments over 14 years, will have had.

He definitely goes on the list.

Nick is absolute menace. Now I am not saying he is himself incompetent or anything, but he is an IRC op and long term admin, from that time when saying a curse word in every sentence was fashionable. He is what I would describe as needlessly abrasive, like all the time. On Wikipedia yes, and on IRC even more so.

Also I am pretty sure he is one of the admins who gave up his tools for the FRAMGATE saga, and then got them back again because he absolutely couldn't live without them. Ah yes he is.

Only took the days, but he finally struck that disgusting call for a block.

His attempt at balance in his replacement statement, however, is to merely say their target thinks they're being helpful with their "many poor pseudo-administrative edits" but as a basic issue of competence he should be issued a mentor and restricted from filing Arb cases for twelve months.

What an absolute prick.

In his pomposity, he's charged them with "a poor record at involving themselves in the administrative aspects of the project", apparently not seeing the irony that he provides no evidence, not a single example (required by policy), and also not seeing the irony where he basically assumes the only reason they filed the case was to obtain sanctions on Eric. There was nothing his statement to that effect, indeed quite the reverse, and of course there is nothing in the Arb policy that says acceptance of a case means sanctions will be the result.

In effect, there no difference between the first statement and his second. Both are attempts to bully the user, and both are spectacular examples of how Nick is the last person to be lecturing anyone on doing the right thing.
