Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Vote/Karmafist

Karmafist
The last thing I wanted to do is run for arbcom, but from my dealings with the system at Requests for arbitration/Pigsonthewing, I feel that it's necessary to enact some change.

My running is basically a protest against the arbitration process as it is, not against any particular member of the arbcom itself since I deeply respect all of them i've talked to individually. My goal will be a drastic reform of the entire arbitration system.

Although my hope is that this won't be the case, I would consider this entire election to be invalid if Jimbo Wales interfered in any way, unless he truly does look down upon other Wikipedians, thus destroying the idea that Wikipedia is Egalitarian, which I am beginning to believe is not the case.

You can see some of my ideas for reforming Policy creation and enforcement here. I wish all the other candidates the best of luck, and ask all the voters to let me know what I can do to gain your trust.

 * 8) Oppose not really suited by temperment for this role; more suited as advocate than arbitrator. CarbonCopy (talk) 20:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * 9) Oppose - Strongly disagree with reform proposal. Awolf002 20:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * 10) Oppose. Candidate does not adequately address the nature of arbitration in their candidate statement. In ignorance: I must oppose.  With so many candidates, the statement is the extent to which I can engage in becoming an informed voter.  Any candidate so contemptuous of the demos as to make it difficult for me to become an informed voter: I must oppose, it bodes poorly for their capacity to take on social responsibility.
