I am somewhat at a loss as to how the arbitration request regarding Monicasdude has anything to do with mental disability. It seems to have a lot more to do with him being nasty about nominations for deletion.
It appears that one somewhat nasty comment about another user's intelligence for nominating something at AFD, that user placed a message on Monicasdude's talk page asking 'Do you think I'm retarded?' This caused Monicasdude to go off on the guy about disrespect for those with mental disabilities, and is one of the incidents of incivility cited in the arbitration case.
Now, it seems, Monicasdude is seizing upon this as a way to play the martyred defender of those who cannot defend themselves, handily ignoring all the OTHER cited cases of incivility.
For a display of drama-queen-dom too severe even for LiveJournal, check out Monicasdude's current userpage: "This user is proud to be a target of the Wikipedia Committee of Public Safety".
