Sure. But desysopping somebody needs less time/skills than preparing a
legal action against him ;-) (and it's something against which he
cannot file an appeal)
You're wrong there; our villain will be able to file an appeal with ArbCom;
they'll laugh at him, but he will be able to appeal.
Actually, that's an interesting question; presuming we ever identify the
Wikitruth admin(s), will it stop at summary desysopping, or do we expect
that they will also be community banned?
De-sysopping for certs: we have no need for untrustworthy admins. As
for community banning, well; wouldn't it be more interesting to find out
what upset this person in the first place? Assuming they aren't a mole
out to prove how easy it is to become an admin (this has been planned
many times), they presumably aren't your standard Wikitruth "I went
there and made a dick of myself and they objected for some reason"
troll. It would be nice to know what happened to this person that they
betrayed us, partly to prevent anyone else doing the same, but mostly
because improving the experience of anyone editing Wikipedia in good
faith is a Good Thing to aim for.
