If you have private data that the community needs to know about, that
will reveal severe admin misuse of tools, that will simultaneously
exonerate an honest man-- you let the community have it.
The community IS the arbcom, except in the rare cases when the
community can't make up its mind. As we saw in this case, once the
community had the "evidence", there was substantial consensus about
it. The whole arbcom case actually turned out not be needed.
Arbcom does not run this place-- the community runs this place, with
HELP when needed from arbcom. Alot of people have that upside down,
with the view that "the community shouldn't worry its pretty little
head over these things-- let the grownups at arbcom talk about it.
