What I am worried about is defendants being punished based on having
disagreed with the outcome of their cases. That is something I won't tolerate.

Ummm ... do you have difficulty with people being treated more leniently if they quietly accept what is handed down to them? I don't see us as really having a punitive regime, at the ArbCom level (I'm not discussing admin actions - with 700 admins you'll get some things that are regrettable). All this judicial language is founded on assumptions that are hard to defend - there is certainly no right to edit a collaborative website, and punishment takes the form of exclusion only from the heavy work of building the site.
