We are talking about some kind of summary procedure in this case. Any suggestions? Also, although FuelWagon has harassed me some. I haven't really followed what else he has been doing. Could there be some short summaries at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/FuelWagon v. Ed Poor (Make a statement).

Is a "better way" to deal with this not to allow arbitrators to proactively take cases, as opposed to waiting for cases to come to them? If this situation is as you say it is, Sarah (and i feel like believing you rather than trawling through these evidence pages), then the damage that has been done will only continue throughout the process of arbitration. If arbitrators were to take and act on cases that they can see are being destructive, then they could make and delegate rulings with the collective force of a group (as opposed to the actions of one or two admins) in the way they feel appropriate, without having to have a long, drawn-out process that can be turned into a "circus". This is a dangerous suggestion, I know, but I felt I should make it.
Cormac, I agree with the idea of the arbitration committee being allowed to be more pro-active, though it becomes a question of extra workload, and I doubt they would want any. This is why I was thinking of an extra group of editors set up specifically to deal with trolling and harassment as an extension of the arbcom, reporting to them and operating under their jurisdiction: a subcommittee. But the point you make is dead right: FuelWagon will turn the arbcom case into another platform for his harassment, which he did with the two RfCs. On the upside, it'll be concentrated on one spot instead of being spread throughout the project, but it would be good if there were a way of dealing with it that didn't involve all the nonsense being reproduced yet again.
