Molobo suggested we try to desysop Deacon. I like the idea in principle, 
but how to go about it in practice?

He is not one of the admins open to raecall 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RECALL); it is unlikely somebody 
could convince him into signing up.

To de-admin him we would have to get an ArbCom ruling, showing how he 
has abused the admin power and how he gained it without due course. I 
tried to bring evidence of that during my last ArbCom, showing how he 
intervened on AE and unblocked Lokyz, but that was ignored by the 
ArbCom. I am not sure what more could be done. Note: before ArbCom, we 
could launch an RfC about Deacon - this may be a good way to irritate 
him and gather info on who else would like to see him taken down a peg...

Finally, we should consider seriously: how dangerous is Deacon? Is it 
worth for us and will it really benefit Wikipedia to try to take him down?
