I think what you mean here is that you don't like being called on what
you said two months ago

If you no longer believe what you wrote, then say so, rather than
attempting to divert attention from your words.

I will note also that if curious readers go to the links I gave and
follow the threads, they will see many others, not just me, also
incredulous at your claims of ArbCom powerlessness to *enforce basic
policies*. Claiming it's all me is (as I noted in that thread) you
attempting to shoot the messenger. Again.

The ArbCom feels it doesn't have much workable power on en:wp. Is a
parallel construction that does the answer?
