Seeking a compromise isn't banned so that could have been tried. I would have easily agreed to a reasonable compromise suggestion.

The act starts with person A proposing something and then person B making a counter proposal. The pendulum swings for a while and eventually stops pointing at a location everyone agrees to. In this case person B simply decided and applied. He wasn't even willing to discuss his admin action. The issue of the redirect itself aside, this conduct is the problem.

Granted arbcom sub pages should not be randomly edited. Changing a passed remedy would be out of the question. I realize that...

To put it in two words, the top of the dispute resolution process is seemingly less than prone to engage in dispute resolution on matters concerning arbitration committee itself. This is a product of a culture that treats arbitrators like divine entities.

Yes but, in general there should be no problem created redirs to anything, for any reason, whatsoever.

Legislating redirs in this way seems very pointy to me. ABF vs White Cat is hardly constructive behavior. Perhaps White Cat could simply create a redir of RFA/Blubber or something if White Cat doesn't like typing long names.

White Cat come up with a short redir that would not imply the case was *about* a particular participant like RFA/WCetal or something and I'd support that.
