The proposed decision is now being voted on.There is a conspicuous lack of a "Cirt desysopped" remedy, but what I really want to talk about is
this gem.

The "Manipulation of BLPs" arbcase isn't great either.
For both cases (in fact most cases), it should read:
Principles:
The Wikipedia Community (i.e. the dozen or so editors that care about the meta side of things) does not like people yelling about things and it do not care about the reasons for the yelling nor solutions for solving the problem(s).
The Arbitration Committee does not like people yelling about things and it does not care about the reasons for the yelling nor solutions for solving the problem(s).
The Arbitration Committee wishes that people would leave the Committee alone and quit coming to it whining about things because it not going to do anything about it anyway.
Finding of Facts:
People have been yelling about things for a good while which has caused many headaches and cries of "Make it stop! For the love of Jimbo, make it stop!"
The people in this case that are yelling and screaming have been around a long time and sanctioning any of them (rightly or wrongly) will make everyone angry. Those that are unpopular or becoming unpopular can, of course, be blocked or banned with no drama or fair appeal.
Remedies:
Everyone is to stop yelling and whining (even if it is understandable and rational) and mind your own damn business. Leave each other alone. Never you mind about the problem(s) that caused this whole ruckus and do not even bother asking the Committee to help you find a practical solution. The Arbitration Committee never wants to see any of you people in its presence ever again. If you come back, you will regret it and your asses will be banned. Any administrator that sees the yelling and screaming again or gets a headache from any of these troublemakers that started this case can block their asses.
