This is one place where your arguments seem to go off the rails. I think that the vast majority of admins keep away from all the contentious issues. They are content to narrowly restrict their edits to what may relate to one WikiProject.
Some admins are perfectly fine one day and then absolute dicks the next; there ought to be a corrective mechanism of an admin being temporarily relieved of duty, both as a form of stress relief and yes, a punitive measure should an admin act like a dick.
I prefer remedial actions rather than punitive. The part-time dicks are probably the ones that would be most amenable to a regime of strict but fair enforcement of a code for admin behaviour.
