| I had faith in the Arbitration Comittee that they would open-mindedly evaluate the evidence, and make a decision that was in the best interests of the project. That faith appears to have been misplaced, as at the time that I am writing this, five arbitrators have endorsed false and misleading evidence, and have recommended a ban of a year based upon that selectively-chosen evidence. Nowhere has the arbitration committee noted my 1000+ constructive edits made while engaging in Recent Changes patrol, preferring to note that I "encouraged a banned user to stalk Wikipedians" (which is complete and utter bullocks). While the case is by no means over, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where they are taking this one. | I had faith in the Arbitration Comittee that they would open-mindedly evaluate the evidence, and make a decision that was in the best interests of the project.

I have left Misplaced Pages. While I appreciate the good-faith efforts and encouragement of many contributors regarding the appeal of this ban (User:Linuxbeak, User:Avillia, User:Raul654, User:Ikiroid, to name a few), I simply do not feel that I am welcome here. To try and contribute to a volunteer project where my efforts are unwanted is a waste of my time, and a waste of the project's time. I have numerous other things to be spending that time on.

In other words: Goodbye.
