Why do you suppose SV said that she was "writing this as an editor, not as an admin"? There had to be some legalistic ulterior motive for using that formulation.
Because she is involved as an editor in the article(s). If she were acting as an admin it would look like she was using her admin status to try to intimidate an editor with which she was involved in a content dispute.
By saying that she is "writing as an editor, not an admin" she is, at the same time, claiming to be eschewing administrative authority while at the same time flaunting it. Very clever, that.
