True, but it's a pretty scary example. It seems to me that if it can
happen to someone like Eloquence, it can happen to anyone (except
_maybe_ Jimbo, I guess). And most of us don't have Eloquence's
reputation to back us up.

It can, of course, happen to anyone, with "it" being a desysopping and
block of a user. Presumably if it happened to Jimbo the board would
act quickly to correct it (his business partners make up at least 4/5
of the board, with a majority holding lifetime positions, after all).
And in the case of Erik, Jimbo stepped in rather quickly to correct
it.
