[WikiEN-l] Re: Arbitration

[Anthere]

Are you sure Rick, that the best solution to this case is arbitration 
rather than mediation ?

After all, what we are dealing here with, is much more a conflict 
between two different personalities, and between two different 
approaches of the sysop role, than a conflict with a vandal.

Would not it be solve by discussing with Guanaco first ?



Rick a écrit:
> I entered the request at [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/RickK vs. Guanaco]] in order to deal with the problem of Guanaco repeatedly making unilateral unblocks of blocked users.  This problem finally came to a head when he was not only unblocking Michael, even though Jimbo had asked him not to, but he was reverting my reversions and deletions of Michael's creations under Mike Grant even though this was in contravention of the decision that Michael was on hard ban and immediate revert.  Five members of the arbitration committee accepted the arbitration.

Fred Bauder, a member of the arbitration committee, has not only manufactured evidence which is not germane to the situation, but actively participates in the creation of information attacking me which has nothing to do even with me OR Guanaco.  I have asked him to recuse himself from the arbitration because of his collusion in this manufacturing of false evidence, but he has refused.  Instead, he has posted Jimbo's letter to the mailing list announcing his decision to unban Michael.  This mailing came after the creation of my request for arbitration and after Guanaco's unilateral unblockings, and therefore is irrelevant.  He is not only allowing, but encouraging, people not associated with the arbitration to pos

To my thinking, this means that the members of the arbitration committee should be requested to re-vote on whether or not to hear the case, since what they voted on is not what the case has turned into.

The ONE previous time in which I bothered to participate, not only was the person against whom the arbitration was asked for (Wik) allowed off without so much as a slap on the wrist, but Hephaestos and I, the people who requested the arbitration in the first place, were admonished for our "bad behavior".  I vowed never to participate in the arbitration process again, but Guanaco's outrageous behavior caused me to rethink my position.
