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.
If there's a broader issue we should be discussing here, please tell
us what it is.
Perhaps the reasons really are that it has been "overtaken by trolls and has
strayed from its original purpose".
