I've been out of touch with the world for most of the last week, but
I'm extremely disappointed to see the only active arbitrator to
comment on that discussion so far just asked for a tl;dr when given a
two hour long video of free advice from a leading expert in online
harassment issues.  Almost every case arb takes deals with harassment
in one form or another - given the time they spend discussing
trivialities, let alone drafting cases and on private lists, I would
hope that no arbitrator (none of the sitting ones have formal training
in dealing with online harrassment, AFAIK, although I may be missing
someone) would refuse to spend a much smaller amount of time hearing
one of the top experts n the subject talk about it.  If you can't
accept a two hour time committment, you probably shouldn't be an arb.
