| :The drafters have made very material progress in collaborating toward the proposed decision; I can't assign a specific date at this point, but it should be sooner rather than later. As someone who has taken a bit of credit for some of the cases I've drafted moving relatively quickly, I regret very much that that hasn't been the situation here. ] (]) 16:57, 11 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::Is it the intention of the Committee that there will be few material changes to the proposed decision after it's posted? I can't help but get the sense that the Committee is trying to decide as much a possible behind the scenes, and then we'll just blitz through a rubber-stamp vote. I've discussed elsewhere why this would be a bad idea; I hope that the Committee will be open to modifying the proposals in light of evidence submitted in response to the proposed decision. Remember, right now only the drafting Arbitrators have any clues about what the ArbCom thinks this case is about. ](]) 17:08, 11 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::There's nothing particularly exciting going on behind the scenes, to be honest; just looking over one another's proposals and trying to improve them. And no, I don't anticipate unanimous arbitrator agreement on every aspect of the decision, though I'm not saying I would protest in the streets in the event it were to occur. ] (]) 20:02, 11 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Are you ''voting'' on proposals or just discussing them? And is there any reason why any of this has to take place in a closed environment? Typically these kinds of things happen on the PD page where others can discuss the proposals, why is this case different? I think it's a bad idea for this process to take place out-of-sight of the participants. On the one hand, the arbs might believe that the closed session allows you to discuss proposals without an explosion of discussion; but on the other hand, I suspect the explosion will happen anyway, the day you post the decisions en masse -- and the PD page will be ''chaos'' with editors releasing weeks of bottled up frustration commenting on all proposals at once. Furthermore, there's bound to be an explosion of new evidence since (as TOAT points out) nobody but the drafters have any clue where this is going. If you executed this out in the open, gradually over the last few weeks, the responses would be more spread out and manageable, and aggressive clerking could be employed to reign in any bickering which invariably clutters up cases like this. I guess I don't see the rationale of debating privately. ] (]) 21:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC) | |||

| As you have been around here on wikipedia for a long time and have a reputation for being an impartial and fair administrator (and this was confirmed for me in the tenmei case), I would like to ask for your opinion regarding my recent block and ban which I regard as eminently unjustified. The backstory is that I was involved in a dispute with another editor (and previous attempts to discuss what happened was | |||
| and became concerned about said editor's personal attacks, and filed a WQA report . After more issues emerged, I expanded the report with a lot more info and filed it on WP:ANI. , after which I was immediately blocked and topic banned by User:Toddst1. Now in this case, I have several objections to the block: | |||
| * I did not violate any policy at the time of the block. I was not edit warring, socking, vandalizing, spamming, engaging in personal attacks, anything. I was also not violating WP:FORUM as the issues I raised at ANI were of a bigger scope than WQA and I believe of major concern. Yet I was blocked without so much as a warning for "hounding" another editor; this is an eminent double standard as said editor had once filed several ANI reports simulatenously against me without any comment from user:Toddst1, except an encouragement to go to ANI and yet when I filed one ANI report (the second on my 2 years in wiki here), I was blocked immediately. | |||
| * What makes this incident worse is that part of the reason I went to ANI was that User:Toddst1 advised me to raise the issues there in an earlier inquiry from me about what to do. But when I did, I was instantly blocked by <b>the same editor who advised me to do so</b>. I'm trying to follow AGF here, but it seems to me that I was set up and then blocked/banned by this very admin so to add to his/her record of "defending wikipedia". This seems to have been an extreme bad faith action from my point of view. | |||
| Now of course I could be wrong; but I believe I have a legitimate case here, so I have decided to ask your for your opinion. If you believe the block was justified, please explain to me how so I can avoid this in the future. If you agree with me, I ask for a review of this block. This block has made me consider whether I should stay in the project, considering the evidence (from my point of view) for bad faith actions above. | |||
