I'm aware of what went on in that case, and without casting any other opinion, I'll concur that the clerking was ineffectual.
Clerking is at its best when all parties to a dispute are made to adhere to good conduct and proper procedure, without regard for the agenda of any party.
My dispute with Arbcom arose because I was being made to apply different standards of conduct to participants, depending on how friendly they were with specific members of Arbcom.
This corrupted the entire system as far as I was concerned, and I wanted no part of it.
Manning, welcome to WR! if you name names, or at least link to the issue in question, it helps the readers know exactly who or what you are talking about. This isn't WP where you have to describe other editor's malfeasance in general, oblique terms so that you don't get accused of violating the NPA policy.
