Removed question
Opabinia. I've removed my question to you following the way in which both Beeblebrox and GeneralNotability behaved. I was accused of playing games, of loading a question, of not even asking questions and eventually GeneralNotability hatted all of my posts. I am concerned about the arbitration process given my conversations with Slim Virgin and my own experience and had hoped there might be arbs who saw the same problems, not caused by any single arb but by a process which may not serve Wikipedia editors very well, anymore. My questions were honest and are based on concerns I have had for a long time, and I had some idea that perhaps changes could be made in the name of a valued friend and editor. Change has to come with the arbs who see change as valuable-idealistic and I guess naive, for sure. I am looking for integrity in the arbs as a baseline, but hoped there were arbs who saw that change might be helpful. Information from such arbs could have informed my vote. In fact I don't need this kind of high handedness from an admin who falsely says I didn't ask any questions, and the accusations Beeblebrox made. I just don't need the aggravation. I thought I should let you know why I removed my question. All best wishes. At least you don't have to answer another question!Littleolive oil (talk) 01:49, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know. I'm guessing this is about this conversation? I'm just catching up, earlier I had to go preorder my Thanksgiving pies (and while I was at the bakery I got a ginormous ginger molasses cookie, which I highly recommend as an alternative to posting about arbcom). As another candidate I'm obviously not getting involved in that thread, but as for the original question, I think my responses to Kudpung's questions cover some of the same ground.

 * I agree that ginger molasses cookies ( my mother-in-law makes them to die for and every now and then sends them for Christmas.) (She says anxiously watching the mail) are a very best alternative to posting about arbitration. They are specially tasty with cold milk although hot brownies are possibly better. I do have concerns with the way my comments were cancelled out as if they did not exist. I won't protest; its not worth it, but I believe that kind of high-handed mentality is something to watch.  Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the pies. I intend to spend the time productively by watching the mail! Littleolive oil (talk) 16:56, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Your comments were in extremely poor taste. Don't invoke the tragic death of Slim Virgin as a rhetorical device further a on-Wiki vendetta. She deserves better than that. Hemiauchenia (talk) 09:18, 22 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Don't go there. You have no idea what SV said to me, a friend, and why I am carrying on in her name. Don't even!Littleolive oil (talk) 15:10, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
