There certainly are a lot of requests! (IMG:

We got one from the "peanut gallery" earlier today via e-mail. Around July 20, 2009 there was an arbitration request involving User:Bishonen and Jimbo, after Jimbo blocked Bishonen for (I would assume) stirring up more "Giano-related drama." I believe we covered it in
this thread, and possibly a couple of others, and it probably dragged on for a couple of weeks on the mailing list(s).
I'm guessing the underlying rationale for the request is either to find out if the ArbCom ever maintained a "hands-off" policy towards Jimbo (I would assume so, personally), or to find out what led to Jimbo's apparent claim that he would stop blocking people after this happened... or maybe both, the person didn't say specifically.
I think any discussion where Jimbo is directly involved would help straighten out what his real status is, though in my experience he tends to keep a lid on the weirdness when he's on a mailinglist or other public/leaky forum.
I had read and write access to the relevant bits of ArbCom-L at the time (for fairness between the two parties, as Jimbo could walk in and out of the list discussion at his convenience). See
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=303165818, which the committee agreed with. Letting me in as temporary list member was an act of trust which I appreciated: I certainly won't post any quotes from it.
But I simply must comment on "
he tends to keep a lid on the weirdness when he's on a mailinglist or other public/leaky forum": nope, no lid in this case. I think he was too angry for lids.
As for "Giano-related drama", Giano was hardly involved at all.
Bishonen.
