Daniel Brandt appealed to Jimbo with the result we see. The arbitration committee can overturn a community ban, so can Jimbo.

A full commutation from Jimbo is unlikely because of Jimbo's COI. Jimbo echoed some rather disparaging remarks to *Editor & Publisher, *so granting clemency now makes it appear an admission of culpability the statements were unwarranted. The question now is, can Jimbo recuse himself from his role as God-king and the Court of Last Resort, and who can he delegate it to?
