The dispute resolution process is only nonsense if you don't use it effectively. The way to use it effectively is to read it and follow the steps. Trying to resolve disputes outside the dispute resolution process can potentially put you right into it, as a defendent.
Wik was protected or let us say he was supported by a few friends. That support is wasted as he continues to struggle in one way or another to have it "his way". At this point he has very little support for continued aggressive cowboying, nor will you.

What good would that do? He's obviously protected, and besides, the arbitration process is nonsense.

Several people have noticed and he has had his ban extended (not by the arbitrators but by a sysop who banned him anew). His case is still in arbitration. You are welcome to this information to the evidence page and to request relief on [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Wik2]].
