Though, in the "some animals are more equal than others" environment of Wikipedia, there's a handful of powerful people (sometimes termed the "clique" or "cabal") who, if they decide that some banned user is Evil Incarnate, will promptly add to their Enemies List any admin that dares to unblock such a user, try to shame that admin into reversing the action, and agitate for the desysopping or banning of the non-groupthink-compatible admin if he/she resists that.
You of course have entirely reliable sources documenting every syllable of this.
