''Cryptic. Your comment sounds like a denunciation. Have I claimed to have “suffrage”?. Have I attempted to vote?. Mr Robertson appears to be a good candidate and I have expressed an opinion to that effect. Do you have any problem with that?. Best wishes. Bob''BScar23625 14:17, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * 5) Support, as insane as it initially seemed to me to support someone with virtually no edit history, why look a gift horse in the mouth? This guy is a professional expert in this area willing to make dispute resolution and ArbCom his principal contribution to WP, who cares whether he's edited articles?

But your lack of experience on the site itself, and small number of user edits makes me wary.....although I assume good faith, someone with bad faith or intent to do damage could get into the Arb Committee if they came out with a similar story and a small number of edits, all being recent.
