What load of stuff was this? With full references, you're making an accusation here that you consider serious enough to warrant desysopping - don't just say "I alluded to it in passing somewhere up there."
Process has a tendency to exist for a reason.
Yes, usually an ad-hoc one. That it hangs around well past then and is applied in situations it shouldn't be is a problem with that process and with process in general.
If an admin is not prepared to find out what that reason is then they should not be ignoring the process because they are very likely to make mistakes. Wikipedia is not anarchy. and admin who isn't going to bother with process is out of control of pretty much everyone. An admin who is out of control is a problem.
Whose control are you or I in?
