I'd argue that anyone who cares this much should "go for a while".
For over at least a decade now it's made no sense that we hold people in certain roles to a higher standard than anyone else. These high standards are a form of power transfer that hurts those who believe in them. Can't we just admit we're all human?
And when there's a leadership role, there are multiple people who are qualified.
It's okay to express your preference that the leadership role be filled by someone who doesn't go on a public, drunken, life-threatening rant.
