Question from Peacemaker67

 * I would say that the banning was a walk-up start and should have been handled at ANI, but the rest has had little effect on either side of what was basically a content dispute. It was a huge time sink and the benefits were minimal because it was almost entirely about content, not conduct, and ArbCom isn't here to look at content. It has also been weaponised against good-faith editors, with a recent attempt to re-litigate it. I hope ArbCom will steer clear of these sorts of cases in the future, unless behavioural problems have proved intractable and unable to be dealt with at ANI.

Question from SN54129




Question from Leaky caldron

 * I asked whether you recognised bias. In so far I can discern an answer, can I take it that you don't?
 * There are perceived biases about any group of users than can be assembled together (and I don't see the benefit of singling out any group in particular). Regardless of such perceived biases, an arbitration decision should be in the best interests of the project.  Maxim (talk)  20:41, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Question from Banedon








Question from Volunteer Marek

 * Thanks for the reply. Just to note - there are millions of 15 member volunteer committees out there in the real world which do exactly this. So it's doable. I don't think that's the issue.  Volunteer Marek   00:32, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
