The Arbitrators might wish to remember that
Arbitration is not a court, and
that unlike a court, it is not obligated to reach a decision. In the case
of "Allegations of Apartheid" for example, the Committee could issue a
statement to the effect that the Committee recognizes the community's
concern that the other Allegations articles were created and defended to
make a point, but that it is divided on whether any remedy is needed, and
remands the issue to the community for discussion.
I don't think is constitutes failure to acknowledge that the Comittee is as
divided as the general community on some issues; in those cases the
Committee should confine its role to slapping down editors whose behavior is
so outrageous that it interferes with the community's ability to calmly
discuss the issue.
The community can only really take action if there is a consensus. If
a matter has reached ArbCom, then it's usually pretty safe to say
there isn't a consensus. If ArbCom don't do anything about it, then
nothing will get done.
