Yes - as I feel it is my role to be an advocate for someone who is on probation, in my opinion is trying to make some good faith edits in compliance with his probation (note on his Talk page my discussion with him) and is simply being endlessly reverted by two people who appear to disagree with his views.
If a person who is on ArbCom probation does the right thing (again, IMO) and is not supported for doing the right thing, then there is absolutely no incentive for that person to cooperate or continue editing the encyclopedia - and the point of ArbCom probation, if I do not miss my guess, is to correct someone who has made mistakes but could otherwise be a valuable editor.

One problem that has emerged is that the assigned person from the mentorship committee can be easily drawn into becoming an advocate of the user on probation. This recently happened in the case of

where one of the members of the committee ended up being banned for 24 hours for breaking 3RR
No one would be placed on probation by the arbitration committee if there were not other users who had been complaining about their behavior. Those parties can be expected to still be watching the articles in question and to have strong opinions on the matter.
