As I am currently unable to defend myself due to a block on my proxy server (through some other activity by someone else) I post here in the hopr that it can be inserted as my first comment under the "Statement by affected party".
Quote:
"I wish to bring it to the attention of the committee that the first attempt by Exploding Boy for a RFA failed as the dispute resolution process had not been followed, specifically any attempt at mediation. I subsequently requested mediation with him which he has spurned. I therefore request that the AC instruct Explosive Boy to submit to the Wikipedia dispute resolution process and engage in mediation."
I quote from my request for mediation:
"Exploding Boy has instigated both an RfC and a request for Arbitration against me. Together with this he has made a number of allegations which are contrived. I believe that the source of this animosity towards me lies in a fundamental difference in POV. His POV position has become even more evident recently. My belief is that he has behaved atrociously and as an admin has brought the office of admin/sysop into disrepute. Through this mediation I hope to reach an understanding with Exploding Boy that he ceases to abuse the systems of Wikipedia as a means to neutralise those with whom he has a POV disagreement. Should the mediation fail I intend to take this issue to the AC with the view of having him stripped of admin/sysop position. - Robert the Bruce 18:04, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)"
Thank you Robert
