Comments on two ArbCom cases
Regarding the "Civility enforcement" case, the following [ comment which I made] on an amendment request may be of interest to readers. In a nutshell, although I felt (and still feel) that civility is paramount, and that Malleus Fatuorum's communication style has been inappropriately uncivil, I accept the evident fact that there simply is not a clear community consensus on this point. To avoid any possible future controversy over whether I harbour prejudice or bias against MF, I will say that if a subsequent amendment request or new case involving him were to come before an Arbitration Committee on which I was sitting, I would recuse myself unless I were presented with unusually compelling reasons not to do so.

Regarding the "TimidGuy ban appeal" case, the community needs to be aware that I have had somewhat of a connection with Will Beback in the past, both on- and off-wiki — primarily in connection with my two RfA bids. In the event that a ban appeal or other action involving WB were to come before an ArbCom on which I was sitting, I would recuse myself, unquestionably and without hesitation. — Rich wales 18:10, 14 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Please supply diffs, or even one diff, where you address incivility or personal attacks against Malleus, and thereby show that you are concerned about even enforcement of civility.
 * You don't have to be perfect, but I have a fear that you don't have 1/100th of the sense of fairness of Worm That Turned, who earlier predicted or called for a ban of Malleus (and who did bar him from one RfA). Please prove me wrong.

 * Are you asking me to answer the above as an official part of the election process? I believe the proper procedure in this case would be for you to add your question to my question page.  If I see a question from you (or anyone else) on my question page, I will certainly do my best to answer it.  —  Rich wales 15:27, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Rich!
 * Thanks for your reply. I was wondering why nobody had asked a question to you before!
 * Cheers, Kiefer  .Wolfowitz  21:27, 28 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Uh-oh. If you had failed to find my question page, I hope you will go through it now and see what I have said to others.  It might change your evaluation of me, or it might not, but at least you (and the people who consult your guide) will have as complete a view of me as possible.  Same goes for the other candidates too, of course — please read their question pages as well, and act as you see fit based on what you read.  —  Rich wales 22:53, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * As noted in my guide, I reviewed Rich's responses, of course. Kiefer  .Wolfowitz  20:59, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
