No, because what goes on in mediation, good or bad is inadmissable in
arbitration. Posturing as "willing to mediate" will do you no good, nor will
"piss on that phoney shit" do you any harm. The reason for this is that
mediation is about actually trying to solve problems between users, not
building a record to bash each other with.

If either party refuses mediation, that fact should
prominently influence the work of the arbitrators.
