Overwhelming sense of entitlement?
David, you're missing my point in this whole thing. I am asking that admins be held accountable for their actions. For someone who was autoblocked for around an hour because someone decided to 'f'- policy and autoblock, thus forcing editors to either quit the discussion or out themselves in an attempt to be unblocked is a very troubling incident to them. Without being held accountable for his actions, he effectivly sends the message to all that an admin can block someone for any reason, even if their actions are well within the bounds of policy, have someone else unblock it and cause an uproar, and simply say I'm sorry and everything's OK. The only accountability is the collective memory of those involved who will remember his actions, and use it when/if the next time he makes a major mistake.
My personal opinion would be for desysoping, but ANY sort of accountability measure (a 24 hour block, something) would have been satisfying.
Whether or not we're professionals or not, volunteers or paid editors, it doesn't matter. In any organization, there must be a system of accountability that works, and that imposes even temporary discipline on the acting person.

No, I wouldn't call for someone from being banned from editing for breaking a pages formatting, but then again, this is a poor comparison. Breaking a pages formatting has no chance of hurting another iditor, Ryulong's did have that chance (depending on who you ask, the risk would be less or greater). Admins need to take responsibility for their actions and realize that their adminship is not an ammunity, and "I'm sorry" is not a fix all, and should never be treated as such by anyone.
Your ridiculous repeated statement that blocking your sockpuppet is enough reason to resign from being an admin shows an overwhelming sense of entitlement.
