The Disney Wiki community, as they're the only relevant party in this case. Wikis are governed by the community, who has appointed (trusted) administrators to help enforce the rules. If the majority of a community agrees that a certain administrator should be demoted, that is something you could show Staff and then they might intervene. However, if you do not have such a consensus from your own community, there is little you can do, and you might want to consider moving on from that wiki.

I want him to be made to have a civilized discussion on the matter. I understand that that may be your goal, but you've already brought this under the attention of other administrators of the wiki, and they didn't agree with you. Part of being a wiki community also means "working together" and "trusting each other's judgement". Administrators are generally speaking trusted users, and while they are not without fault themselves, they are trusted to deal with things, and in this case, another administrator did not feel it necessary. Again, you can try to appeal to the rest of the Disney community, but I doubt it'll get you very far, as it will likely only result in more conflict, if the bits of text you shared are any indication.

They let wikis govern themselves with as less interference from Staff as possible. This is all in the bigger picture of autonomous wikis, let them be as they want to be within Wikia's Terms of Use. This allows wikis to form their own identity, though the downside of this is also that Staff is likely not to get involved with internal disputes and trusts administrators to deal with that. Administrators have the power to block whoever they want for whatever they want, and there is generally not much to do about it.
