Yow. I just read some of the psychopop stuff FT2 has posted about Giano. Giano's right, that stuff is just totally inappropriate.

I don't think Giano has the temperament to play the role of Gandhi.

But if he wanted to, I'd be more than willing to be one of his coaches on the theory and practice of civil disobedience.

Not that it matters, but I live just a few miles from Walden Pond.

No, I don't have Gandhi's temperament, but I do have better dress sense. Seriously, I am not surprised by the many editors who are now voicing views opposing the existence and deplorable behaviour of the Admin's chatroom. Singling just one comment out is probably unfair, but yet another content editor joined the fray today with this comment: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=207507385, I thought was very perceptive. If the Arbs continue to callously ignore and discard so many of the writing community then they will ultimately have to pay for it. There are a several people emerging now as calm, wise observers and commentators of this situation. If J Wales is clever he will kick FT2 and one or two of the others straight of the Arbcom and appoint a couple of these emerging commentators. The Arbcom needs squaring and licking into shape, fast, before even more good editors depart because at the end of the day - does anything productive ever emerge from the IRC they are so desperate to preserve at the expense of the content?

Who would you have in mind to be appointed to ArbCom?

A lot of people have posted some very salient and perceptive facts on the subject. Some of whom I hardly know. others I know far better, so off the top of my head it would be unfair to single any two out, or even three. I think a lot of people would be very happy to see Geogre dispensing some of his down to earth wisdom from the Arbcom, anyway singling anyone could be handing them a poisoned chalice. The behaviour of the existing Arbs would not alter over night just because some improving influences have arrived. Look how much notice they take of Brad and Paul August - whoever is newly appointed has to be strong and forthright, unafraid and able to throw the punches. To be quite clear though, I do not include myself, if I am ever appointed to the Arbcom - I want it to be by vote, and once the chatroom is abolished my opposes will be increased by about 1000% - so that scenario is frankly unlikely. I think, I'm more of a catalyst than an Arb.
