Wow. The findings of fact very very strongly support the proposed
remedies. AND the Arbcom has very carefully and extensively discussed
the concerns about this that some members of the community have
raised.
Jimbo, you just so happened to trim the part of my e-mail where I
fully acknowledged your third sentence. Not sure why you felt it was
necessary to trim and then tell me something I already knew and
stated, other than to try to make me look even sillier than I already
do by being called out by [[WP:JIMBO]].
I'd like to point you to the analysis of the findings of fact
provided for MONGO's desysopping done by Radiant [1] (also, see
Renesis [2], Durin [3], and Newyorkbrad [4]). If you feel that the
findings of fact match up with the proposed remedy of desysopping,
then I think we need to have some policy clarification for several of
the points raised by Radiant in particular. If ArbCom really feels
that the findings of fact are rock solid, then I think they need to
explain why and respond publicly to the numerous complaints raised.
As I've said numerous times, I'm aware of and fully appreciate the
amount of private discussion that must have gone into this decision.
Again, all I am asking for is communication. After this thread in
enwiki, plus the talk page at RfAr, I have no idea what half of this
decision means for me as an administrator. I don't know when I can
protect or even unprotect an article anymore. I really don't think
communication is too much to ask for, and I don't understand why I'm
being publicly derided by Jimmy Wales for asking for it.
Warmest regards,
