exactly. When you stand for election you do put yourself
in the firing line. But as an arbitrator you are going to piss off a
certain class of editor. Namely the people up before the AC. These
people are somewhat likely to be the sort to be, how shall I put it? -
vocal in condemnation of you. You need to be able to take, insults and
abuse in order to be an arbiter.

Oh, don't get me wrong - I realise that some thickness of hide is
needed. I'm a big girl, and I can take that sort of stuff. But I think
much of the crap that was thrown during the election process stepped
well over the line.

And the witchhunt that's been going on recently with an existing ArbCom
member is way, way over the line.
