QUOTE(everyking @ Thu 3rd December 2009, 3:38am) QUOTE(Sarcasticidealist @ Thu 3rd December 2009, 3:39am) QUOTE(radek @ Wed 2nd December 2009, 10:33pm) Given only one choice in this particular poll I threw the politics and self-interest out the window and went with Wehwalt since he seems like the guy that actually writes content unlike the rest of the "Professional Wiki Politicians" (PWPs - I realize most of the readership even here belongs to that category in some sense) on the list (don't know much else beside that about him). That criteria also made Cla the runner up. I don't like to be petulant, but I'm feeling a little left out, here. Actively participating in this thread without making one of the pledges suggests that you are unwilling to make them. If that's the case, you (and a few others!) will have one more oppose vote in your tally. I already stated in my answers to the questions on my candidate page that I was committed to openness. I've made it clear that I don't think you have been treated fairly in the past, but the most recent ArbCom ruling on your situation seemed reasonable to me. So, I guess I can't make the pledge that you're looking for.

You never addressed my question about RfA. Why is it that you've never run again? No one who has offered to nominate me has followed through and actually posted the nomination. I'm not upset about it. If I really wanted to try to be an admin I'm sure I could have just asked enough people until I found someone willing and able to follow through. In my answers to the questions on my candidate page, I stated that I felt that having admin privileges was necessary for the position. Thinking about it more, however, I realize that whenever I've wanted or needed to read an admin deleted page or needed admin assistance in some other way, I've never had any trouble finding a helpful admin to provide assistance. So, if I'm elected and the Committee decides not to grant me admin privileges, I don't think that will be a big deal.

I think someone should be an admin before becoming an arbitrator, although it wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me if someone was otherwise a good candidate. Another question, though: why do you think it's reasonable for the ArbCom to classify me as some kind of stalker? Do you seriously believe I've done anything to warrant that? If any kind of "restraining order" were necessary, don't you think a mutual restriction would be more reasonable in light of the history?

They should have given the same restriction to the the other guy that they placed on you. It's too late for that now.

I voted that I wasn't going to "vote" in the ArbCom elections, but you may just have changed my mind. It's about time that ArbCom wasn't the sole preserve of administrators.
