User blog comment:Mira Laime/How to Deal With a Bad Bureaucrat/@comment-1038387-20160224230550

Good stuff. I think it's also important to consider the aftermath; it is entirely possible it will split the community, scorch the earth and burn bridges. There'll always be people loyal to the demoted b-crat. In itself, that is something that shouldn't warrant a block, but once they are blocked for different reasons, that can cause another flare-up in drama. The atmosphere can very well be ruined, which could drive out neutral editors and even some of the pro-demotion people.
