On the intstabanning of CelebrateApathy

So I just noticed that rottenseed has instabanned CelebrateApathy for this comment. Basically, for those too lazy to click, CelebrateApathy told GenjiKilpatrick to "shut the fuck up" and called him a "dumb ass" for always attacking people. Now, this probably crosses the line, but as far as personal attacks go it's fairly benign. CelebrateApathy certainly deserves a warning, but INSTABANNING? Ridiculously harsh. Especially since, looking through his comments, CelebrateApathy is clearly not a troll and has no history of personal attacks.

On a related note, why do we even have the power to instaban people?? It's a good idea in theory, I guess, to quickly get rid of spammers -- but in practice it's way too easy to abuse this feature, as we see here. If anything, maybe dag and/or lucky could assign this privilege to a few specially-chosen people, but I don't see any reason that everyone should have it.
