I think TBSDY should be desysoped for blocking a user (NSM88) with a justification of "Nazi. Literally", i.e. blocking for a user's political views.
If TBSDY had reblocked, after NSM88 had been unblocked then you might have a point. We can't IMO go around desysopping someone because they made one decision which we disagree with. If we did that we would have no admins left! Everyone is entitled to make a mistake now and then, even admins. A pattern of such blockings would be a different matter. Dispute resolution requires that the first step should be talk. There was plenty of talk on WP:AN/I at the time.
