Statement from Jimbo re. Bauder/Forrester, From around Jan. 2006 ArbCom Elections Options

[C H]

I recall Jimbo saying that any arbcom election process that failed to elect James Forrester or Fred Bauder was broken. It was around the time of the January 2006 election, where James and Fred had seemingly failed in their reelection bids. Shortly thereafter, Jimbo expanded the arbcom by 3 members, adding Forrester, Bauder and JayJG. Can anyone help me find the quote? It was either on-wiki or on the mailing list.

I think the main conclusion I end up drawing from this is that there are probably too many arbitrators, but the problem of inactivity precludes having a smaller arbcom.

Also the fairly circular process whereby JW appoints arbcom and arbcom theoretically can sanction him. It's almost like the curious relationship Charles I had with parliament.

So honestly, what would happen if Jimmy did something Very Bad with or in regards to his en.wiki account, that led to someone processing a request against him? Would James F have to recuse, if he were still sitting? Would Jimmy be subject to sanction (not joking--I'm being serious)?
