G'day Jack,
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.
Indeed? What do you propose to do about it?
Wikipedia is not the real world. We are not building a model community here; we're building (or trying to build) an encyclopaedia. The Arbitration Committee is not a real world court, and real world procedures do not apply. Also unlike the real world, there's nobody waiting to swoop in and see that your "rights" aren't violated.
(By the way, do you think you could kinda try to stop top-posting? That'd be, ahem, tops. Thanks.)
