Regarding Arbitrators who should have recused themselves, Guy Chapman writes,
QUOTE

"Having ventured an opinion once does not disqualify them form venturing the same opinion again, especially when more evidence of even more accounts is brought to the table."

Guy Chapman (JzG) betrayed PM's expectations of confidentiality by sharing his communications with the cyberstalking mailing list, then outed his real-world identity on Wikipedia.

Now he defends the failure of Arbitrators to recuse themselves from a case which it's reasonable to suppose (as Chapman suggests) they've predecided.

Look at the last page of this one, however, because it looks like Arbcom. is set to close it. unsure.gif

This case opened on the 20th/21st of November, 2007.

This case opened on the 20th/21st of November, 2007.

Key points:
1) the Arbitration Committee supports violations of contributors' privacy, which administrators such as Guy Chapman are free to commit at any time 2) whether or not a contributor has a right to privacy is entirely up to the Committee. 3) so-called "sockpuppets" (including new usernames) are or are not forbidden from participating in policy pages and talk pages, according to the discretion of the committee.
