Seriously, I don't know why anyone serving on arbcom would be interested in serving more than a single term. It must be exhausting.
Trust me, re-election is the last thing on my mind. It's just always been understood both among the arbitration committee and the community that the arbitration committee does not dictate content, because a) understanding the area involved to the necessary level is out of our league, b) concerns over ending up with OTPOV, as discussed elsewhere here, and c) a general unwillingness to spread past what we were set up to deal with - the worst users who were causing serious problems in the community. Fred has consistently tried to change this, but he's generally been opposed by the remainder of the committee, except for in one or two referencing-related cases.
