Does supporting a passing remedy as a second choice count? For the
Rama case, I would have voted as a first choice to admonish and as a second choice to desysop. In such a case, I would hope there is some acknowledgment that the action was outside of established norms. I'm not looking for grovelling, and such an acknowledgment in a way sets a lower bar than acknowledging that the actions were in error. (Arguably the
Asoh defense may have put the dispute to rest before an arbitration case, but I digress.) What I would rather look for is a demonstrated
pattern of poor judgment. Was there a pattern? Outside of decade-old (!) history, not really; a good contrast to the Rama case is the
Enigmaman case, whose findings clearly show a pattern of misuse. I don't find the passed remedy in the Rama case necessarily wrong (either admonishing or desysoping were acceptable), but my preference would be to admonish since the case was effectively over an isolated incident.
