The FT2, Charles Matthews axis of ArbCom believes their actions are sacrosanct. This is an example of their whiney petulance at anyone disagreeing with them - shades of OrangeMarlin, SLRubenstein, Vanished user. The patten is that one of the two freakishly anti-encyclopedia Arbitors does something, it gets undone, and then, using their Arcom mailing list, they campaign other Arbitors to back them up. Because the opposing parties don't get to see what falsehoods FT2 and CM are peddling about them, and because FT2 and CM will agressively create findings and remidies on the proposed decision page (skipping the workshop and evidence page entirely), and arbcoms desire to present a unanimous face, they are able to get this done.

I'm shocked FT2 didn't just recuse himself and work entirely through their mailing list and Charles. He's the most ham-handed manipulator ever. Why he didn't have one of his pet admins file the case (Elonka is the obvious candidate), why he didn't recuse - it's pure hubris.

I'm shocked FT2 didn't just recuse himself and work entirely through their mailing list and Charles. He's the most ham-handed manipulator ever. Why he didn't have one of his pet admins file the case (Elonka is the obvious candidate), why he didn't recuse - it's pure hubris.

FT2 simply is not as bright as he likes to think he is*, after his ill-fated previous attempt to steam-roller ArbCom into taking a decision that in retrospect turned out not to have been an ArbCom decision but something of his own doing, you would have thought he had learnt his lesson. The pure failure to recognise not that he had a conflict of interest, but that even with the gubbins he spouts that others would not call him on this conflict, speaks volumes. One can only think he had DG or similar in the background egging him on, telling him black is white and 2 + 2 = 5. FT2 is definitely someone who once he believes he is right simply cannot hear any criticism - well it must be wrong if he doesn't agree so why take any notice?

I believe in modern parlance this is known as an epic fail.


*And we can thank our lucky stars that... for those of a certain age, though I think I've used that line before.
