In this context, a "bad admin" is an admin who does not respect the spirit of policy, who bites newbies, who fuels edit wars instead of resolving them,
Admins have no conflict resolution role.
or who otherwise does not uphold the obligations of an administrator in using administrative privileges. In short, someone who uses administrative privileges for a reason other than to improve the encyclopedia.

Ah and thats where it gets tricky doesn't it. "Improve the encyclopedia" so subjective. The fact is removeing admins who have missused rollback would easly remove 1/3rd of the admins. It would also be likely to hit the most active admins. Under such a situation the only option would be to lock the database until we promoted some more.
There are a minium number of admins we need to continue fuctioning. And if we have to allow admins who you view as bad in order to reach that number there isn't much you can do about it.
