Sadly, people with advanced permissions (admin,
checkuser etc) on
Wikimedia projects are almost immune to sanctions. You could imagine a
behavior that would normally lead to a site ban for people with no
permission will only result in a desysop for an administrator. Worst of it
is Wikimedia Commons where there has to be two different RfC/votes to get
an admin desysoped.

I quote David and Isaac.
Harassment is a serious thing and hounding another user is out of any wiki
behavior.
Before asking why WMF has banned an admin (and if Fram was not an admin,
all these discussions would not have been done), we need to ask ourselves
why we (other users) have allowed such an attitude without intervening to
stop it.

[...] the pre-existing understanding that the WMF do not replace
existing and perfectly adequate community agreed
procedures for
banning bad behaviour on our projects.
Unfortunately, there is ample evidence that the existing English
Wikipedia
community processes are not "perfectly
adequate" for that purpose.
If the English
Wikipedia's policies are not fit for purpose, or implementation of
policy is incompetent, we need a much bigger discussion
Indeed. Unfortunately the tone of the discussion here and at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_response_to_the_Wikimedia…
suggests
that the requisite discussion is now less, not more, likely to happen
or be
productive.
