Jack, in my experience when editors involved in a case doesn't see it going the way they want, they almost inevitably claim that one or more of the arbitrators is biased against them, based on some long-standing (but undocumented) hatred for them. It's not quite as common for them to claim there is a vast community consensus supporting their viewpoint - I give you credit for having the chutzpah to do the latter.

I am making a very specific accusation: Due to a long history of conflict with myself, JAYJG has no ability to be neutral in this case. His lack of recusal is far more striking than that of Fred Bauder. Both of them, along w other obvious concerns (Kelly Martin) makes this case a very bad precedent regarding recusals.

No, Fred, he's making a much broader accusation; in fact a series of
broad
accusations unsupported by any evidence.

He is referring to my disclosure that I may have briefly encountered
Chip
Berlet when I was in the National Lawyers Guild. I did not recuse on
that
basis as there was very little if any actual connection between us. I don't think membership or even active participation in the National Lawyers Guild forms a basis for recusal as there are a number of
reasons
why people join the National Lawyers Guild and participate in it.
Other
than involvement in legal work there is absolutely no test for
membership.
Successful participation is another story. I soon found out that since
I
did not support the Gang of Four I was considered chopped liver.

Please don't try to re-direct the questions, Jack, and please don't
try
to make them about me. You made insinuations about the Arbitration Committee, please clarify. I'll repeat the questions:
- Do you think that the Committee is trying to "purge right wingers"?
- Do you imagine that there are no "right wingers" on the Committee
itself? 3. Why would you insinuate that Cberlet is any more the "friend and colleague" of members of the Arbitration Committee than are any of
the
other parties to the case?
