The reasoning behind this is so that an admin cannot use their powers to win against an anon admin when they are in a revert war. This is not the case here. Although it would have probably been wiser for TBSDY to ask another admin to block SS-88 for making the above threat I cannot see how it could have been considered an abuse of admin powers.

Non making any comment on whether the person should be unsysoped or not unsysoped, I think that as soon as editors question the action of a sysop or not, it is worth listening and considering.
That means there must be a clear process where editors can put their complaint against a sysop and express their wish that this editor is removed from sysophood. It is important that if there is no more trust from a sizeable number of editors, sysophood is removed.
I wonder if the simplest thing is not that as soon as a sizeable number of people doubt that a person should stay a sysop, the process could be simply that these users should be reconfirmed in their sysop status.
Make it a vote just of the same type of the vote to become of sysop. If a reasonable number of support is obtained the person stay a sysop, if not, removed.
The only thing you need to do is that the initial request is made by a trusted person, to avoid trolling.
There is an easy way to do this : have it a requirement that listing the person on the admin/deadmin list be made by a sysop himself.
