Dispute resolution against sysops is currently very,

"users should not block those with whom they are currently engaged in conflict."
Does that cover personal attacks or threats? Is a sysop permitted to declare text of a
user with whom they are in conflict a threat and summarily block them? Yes, I'm
talking about TBSDY and User:SS-88 in that case.
In general, I don't think you'll find a lot of support for desysopping
for one incident. Desysopping is usually only done in cases that are
either pretty egregious or involve of a pattern of abuse of sysop powers
(especially continuing to do something inappropriate after being warned).
