Other than that, this looks like a fairly normal admin life cycle. He apparently joined the project in late 2004, became an admin some time after that, and leaves 3 years later claiming the project has been overtaken by trolls and has strayed from its original purpose. Is this unusual for anyone's involvement with virtually any internet project?
If you see Wikipedia as "any internet project" you will be blind to its individual needs.
