If you're not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give others to follow you?" This is just irrelevant. Not really. Esdeath is a leader of the wiki. This quote is about leadership, and how you are a leader everywhere, even if it's not on the wiki. Why should we trust someone who does this sort of stuff outside the wiki? How can we trust that he will not bring that sort of behaviour here?

Sure, people who know him can say "He won't." But how can people who don't know Esdeath trust that? They can't, because they have heard of the incident and don't know anything about him. It's a breach of trust between someone who is a leader of the wiki and the users themselves, because it will always be in the back of their mind; "What if I annoy them, and they do this to me?"
