You almost have something there...
But guys, where did it say he was leaving? Besides saying he was still going to be semi-active, that's all. He just lost his admin rights because he was inactive; "presumably for my inactivity as an administrator. It's fine, I am not offended." It was true, he was pretty inactive as an admin, nothing against SMR at all, but you could clearly see it. Over the past three plus years I have been here, I have seen you as an awesome contributor and you have been a great administrator on Sythe, SMR, and I'm sure if you ever become more active/less busy in life/etc., you'll gladly take the job back. See you around buddy.
