He may immediately apply to be an administrator again;
however, I
think he has lost broad community support. The Arbitration Committee
proposals are harsh, but there are serious problems with the way he
acts. He responds poorly to harassment, and he is quite dismissive of
his opponents with respect to content. "Nonsense" is frequently used.

I don't think he's lost broad community support at all, if you look at his
talk page and the talk pages on the ArbCom case, I think you'll see just the
opposite. And when re-applying for RFA, you don't need to have lost broad
support, just a small group (15% or so) of committed opposers will be enough
to block it. Other high profile admins have gotten much longer leashes than
this...
