The Arbitration Committee's overriding aim is not fairness. Rather it is to do the best for the encyclopaedia. This doesn't mean that fairness is not considered. It just means that, when "justice" and the interests of the encylopaedia collide, the encyclopaedia comes first.

I will continue editing at Citizendium.
