I made one suggestion, which might not be particularly workable. Regardless, we need to find solutions.
Redirect the ArbCom page to [[Clown]].
Hi, Dan. I value many of your contributions here highly, so this one puzzles me. Read straight, it seems unnecessarily hurtful and entirely negative. The people on ArbCom seem to be putting a ton of work and thought into things, and I think they deserve a lot of respect for that.
If you were going for a joke, I'd suggest more indicators that you don't believe the straight reading. E.g., a smiley and enough context so that even people who don't know you and who haven't been following the conversation closely can tell what your serious message behind the joke is.
Thanks,
William
