I am not pursuing a single controversial or complex issue right now. I am pursuing no issue.
I do not run rouge bots. You have evidence of that? Or are you accusing merely to accuse?
I do not have a hidden agenda despite being accused of it *all the freaking time*. People are willing to give indef blocked users a second chance yet are not willing to give me a first one. I was never indef blocked for disruption. Does that make me less or more trustworthy than an indef blocked user? Because I do not account hop to sockpuppet accounts?
I did not choose to get involved with arbcom. I was only involved with arbcom as a means of DR over a three year old dispute. I was dealing with the same user and his sockpuppets on all five instances where I was involved with arbcom. I did not know at the time that I shouldn't have used DR process. Once you get involved with arbcom once you are branded for the rest of your life.
I am very impatient with the scholarships because I am staring at the number of plane seats disappearing. No this is not a temporal paradox, people buy tickets. Soon I will not be able to buy a ticket because either there will not be any seats left or the prices will gradually rise to astronomical values. I am not a rich person so I have serious financial concerns. I do want to attend this meeting of a website and asset I value greatly. I will not be able to afford the astronomical prices of plane tickets. I have merely respectfully proded the committee about the deadline which they may have forgotten. Better safe than sorry right?
I don't pick fights.
The perception is that I am always unconditionally wrong is maybe part of the problem. People always have an endless supply of bad faith when dealing with me. Maybe that is also part of the problem. Just maybe.
I participate in many discussions. I will get involved with as many of them as I see fit. There are many other people who get involved in more discussions than I.

I currently lack such a median and am open to suggestions.
You are pursuing too many controversial and complex issues at the same time. Some of us are concerned about rogue bots and wonder about hidden agendas. Some of us who have never over several years become involved in an Arbcom case wonder about the problem of Arbcom's page management. Some of us who have not sought scholarships to Wikimania wonder about your impatience to have that decided by volunteers who have no obligation to hurry. We find you as a lone voice in the thick of all these issues at once and more. Yes, I can understand that you would feel besieged!
Learn to pick your fights, and avoid entering them with such a deep preconception that you are right.
