Fred responds to a question about why ArbCom is taking so much time to decide anything.

Actually, we are having some serious trouble. I'm thoroughly burned out. Additionally we have deadlocks on a couple of cases.

In fact, the situation is so bad, that I think we should consider alternatives to our current procedures. Is there some other way we could resolved the issues which come to arbitration, perhaps by committees of administrators?

I think we all know why the Arbcom is falling apart. Because they have dared to question the actions of the users known as "Jayjg" and "SlimVirgin".

It would be interesting to figure out what percentage of former Wikipedia editors attain that status by SlimVirgin/Jayjg related "burn out."

We'd have to divide the group up into those who were burnt out in the sense that their interactions with SlimVirgin left them feeling exhausted and eager to leave, and those -- like most of us -- who had their account methodically doused with gasoline and set alight, thus being burned out.

Phrasing the distinction in a sentence:
SlimVirgin leaves some, like Fred Bauder, burnt out from Wikipedia;
while others, like myself, are burned out of Wikipedia.
