Guy, it was clear that you had it too, from your posts.  It seems absurd
that you would hold Giano to a higher standard than you would hold
yourself.  I repeat - NOBODY on any side of this debate emailed that post to
the Arbcom mailing list.  Not one.  In fact, if I understand Mackensen
correctly, even to this day nobody has forwarded it to them through proper
channels.  Arbcom should not be going out looking for information on cases
they are likely to hear; it is unfair to all potential parties.  And in the
same vein, individual arbitrators should not be seeking information on cases
in which they are likely to be required to render a decision.  Arbcom took
the biggest hit in this case, aside from the accused editor.
