We can respect the work an admin puts in (and history will always reflect that) without necessarily tolerating abuse to other users.

I realize some of the worry is losing future work an admin might do, whether that be to build more amazing content or defend the existing content against vandalism. I expect that's a large reason why that kind of thing tends to continue a long time. There is some laxity in dealing with dictatorial practises so long as the admin is doing 90% impressive work.
