There are lots of good reasons not to put your hand up to become an administrator. But to be fair, this was a really exceptional example, and far from "par for the course".
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.
