Colton used his admin powers to handle things in a personal manner.. prehaps not for personal reasons, I don't know, but none of it seemed like it was acting in a role of an admin.
Don't know what you mean by "in a personal manner". Or by saying it doesn't seem like I was "acting in a role of an admin".
I think an admin should have PMd a stern letter to Cy with defined repercussions (even if they are inconsistent with board rules). Put him on notice and let him decide his outcome.
As in, exactly what I did?
A professional approach would likely had stopped Cy's stupid behavior.
Hmm. My approach was exactly what you described as being "the professional approach".
