Just my opinion, but referring to ArbCom as the "Arbitrary Committee" is about the same thing as Linux nerds referring to Microsoft as "Microsuck" or IE as "Internet Exploder." It detracts from your arguments quite profoundly by making you look like an uninformed zealot. (Which I am sure is not the case.)
A better term might be "informed zealot". That's someone who knows current policy and knows how things are suppose to work but simply has a strong belief that it should be otherwise.
I still maintain the view that such terminology only detracts from his argument.
