I wish SV hadn't acted the way he did, and that he would apologise for
it. IMO he should be de-sysopped, but I would also vote to have his
status restored after a couple of months, if he made it clear he
wouldn't behave similarly in the future. He's a good member of the
community, even if he acted rather badly in this particular.
No one should be above the rules, but the most important thing is the
message that is sent to lay users regarding admin misconduct, and how
he plans to conduct himself in the future.
