Actually, the "non-interference" policy is supposed to readjusted in the future. What it will be has not yet been hammered out.

Here is the thing:
 * 1) once a bureaucrat, they can only be removed by staff or by demoting themselves
 * 2) it is useless to "block" an Admin/Bureaucrat because they can simply unblock themselves
 * 3) an admin can only be demoted as long as they are not alos a 'crat, cause if they are they can just re-promote themselves
 * Yes, removing threads (or polls, but polls are not advised anyway) seeking demote an Admin or a 'crat, especially when it is you, IS and abuse of power. it is one of the things when reported to Staff WILL cause them to intervene. Same for messing (blocking) with users participating is such threads.

MY advice? Step back and let any demotion threads proceed without you touching them (with apologies for previous actions) other than *maybe* casting your own vote, or bothering (blocking) those who participate. There should be a clearly stated deadline for when the voting ends. If you lose, meaning the community "has spoken", *then* I'd demote myself.
 * One caveat: if the demotion discussion is started by another Admin/Bureaucrat, I *might* ask the entire thread be made a discussion if THEY should be demoted in addition to or instead of you

Staying as part of the community is your personal decision.
