I am not pursuing a single controversial or complex issue right now. I am
pursuing no issue.
I do not run rouge bots. You have evidence of that? Or are you accusing
merely to accuse?
I do not have a hidden agenda despite being accused of it *all the freaking
time*. People are willing to give indef blocked users a second chance yet
are not willing to give me a first one. I was never indef blocked for
disruption. Does that make me less or more trustworthy than an indef blocked
user? Because I do not account hop to sockpuppet accounts?
I did not choose to get involved with arbcom. I was only involved with
arbcom as a means of DR over a three year old dispute. I was dealing with
the same user and his sockpuppets on all five instances where I was involved
with arbcom. I did not know at the time that I shouldn't have used DR
process. Once you get involved with arbcom once you are branded for the rest
of your life.
I am very impatient with the scholarships because I am staring at the number
of plane seats disappearing. No this is not a temporal paradox, people buy
tickets. Soon I will not be able to buy a ticket because either there will
not be any seats left or the prices will gradually rise to astronomical
values. I am not a rich person so I have serious financial concerns. I do
want to attend this meeting of a website and asset I value greatly. I will
not be able to afford the astronomical prices of plane tickets. I have
merely respectfully proded the committee about the deadline which they may
have forgotten. Better safe than sorry right?
I don't pick fights.
The perception is that I am always unconditionally wrong is maybe part of
the problem. People always have an endless supply of bad faith when dealing
with me. Maybe that is also part of the problem. Just maybe.
I participate in many discussions. I will get involved with as many of them
as I see fit. There are many other people who get involved in more
discussions than I.

I currently lack such a median and am open to suggestions.
You are pursuing too
many controversial and complex issues at the same
time. Some of us are concerned about rogue bots and wonder about hidden
agendas. Some of us who have never over several years become involved in
an Arbcom case wonder about the problem of Arbcom's page management.
Some of us who have not sought scholarships to Wikimania wonder about
your impatience to have that decided by volunteers who have no
obligation to hurry. We find you as a lone voice in the thick of all
these issues at once and more. Yes, I can understand that you would
feel besieged!
Learn to pick your fights, and avoid entering them with such a deep
preconception that you are right.
