And being de-sysop'd is not the "end of the world" unless we
personally
see our adminship as a status symbol. Really, what would be the
practical implications of my losing my admin privileges? There are
hundreds of other sysops. If granting adminship "shouldn't be a big
deal", why is revoking it such a big deal? It is a mere slap on the
wrist, nothing more. I can still edit, mediate, and serve on most any
committee.
