I think we may have short-circuited the de-admin, RfC, ArbCom route. Sometimes a word to the wise (on both sides) is sufficient. I think everyone can now act in good faith. Hopefully, I will be proven right; stay tuned.

I think that Jimbo might have sligthly more pressing matters than investigating himself all disputes on the english wikipedia. He certainly do cares and would regret a lot that abuse is practiced, but any investigation takes a lot of time. This is why an arbcom was set. So that an instance can be delegated power by Jimbo and by the community to consider such things.
So, for any such issue, you should first of all consider turning to the arbcom, and trust the arbcom to take the right decision; and see Jimbo as the final person you can go to when ALL OTHER means have failed (to your opinion).

Which I guess means Jimbo is the only one who counts.
And he doesn't seem to care that admins aren't paying attention to the voted-on criteria for blocking users, as it's not sufficient cause to block an admin.

Apparently one must make an appeal to ArbCom or Jimbo, though note that only a few (2?) sysops have lost privileges on EN. See also the proposed [[Wikipedia:Requests for de-adminship]].

Most of the time (about 99,99% only), just talking, even if a bit heated, is the wise route :-)
