May you read my emails again and find where I said so? I proposed
forming of Meta ArbCom, as well as I mentioned that VC may act as a
*temporary* Meta ArbCom because we need some body to start to deal
with sediments of problems before it is too late.

If some body/group/community makes some unreasonable decision (en.wp
ArbCom is not the first, not the last; jp.wp community decision for
your block is much more problematic because it was, AFAIK,
*community's* decision, not ArbCom's decision) -- there are ways for
working on making them more reasonable. However, without Meta ArbCom
and/or VC we don't have a regular method for that.

The other option is to give global power to local ArbComs. If one
ArbCom is not reasonable, other ArbComs will notice that...
