Of the recent
case regarding Lar, I've been told all evidence must be
submitted by this Sunday, then the case will be closed. But I don't
have time to hunt for diffs right now, because I have family coming to
stay until the end of the month. They know this -- they also know this
is a holiday season -- but they want it closed by Sunday nevertheless,
for reasons they're unable to explain. So nothing will be resolved.
Have you tried politely requesting an extension? That you have family
staying seems to be an excellent reason for needing some more time and
I really can't see ArbCom saying no.
Yes, I requested an extension until the end of August, and was told
(very rudely) by Charles Matthews that no extension would be given.
I've had my own problems with
ArbCom (I was recently desysoped and was appalled at the bad practices
and judgement shown), but they are usually pretty reasonable when it
comes to real life commitments.
I've always found that too, but for some reason they want to get rid
of this case as soon as possible.
