Nicely said. Couldn't have said it better myself. Why do so much people immediately ask for removal of sysop status? Sysops are only human. Just asking nicely will have a much better result.
Because if a few sysops lost their admin privs because they failed to perform due diligence, then all of them will start performing the diligence that is due. And then you'd stop seeing calls for their ouster for such minor errors.
