What's going on here? Why is it that a Featured Article candidate can sit in the FA nomination forum for three weeks and receive only three comments, but an ArbCom request on Giano gets input from 30 people in less than 24 hours?

Another ArbCom member acting to silence minor dissent as some kind of service to the encyclopedia in the form of preventing "disruption." Just like NYB's bullying of Kurt or that Creampuff kid. I think this is the equivalent of a WoW players slaying boars to build points back up. ArbCom's credibility is really in the shit can after being pwn'd by Godwin.

Just like NYB's bullying of ... Creampuff kid.

This is a complete misinterpretation of the nature of my trying to help with this situation. Geez. I know we don't assume good faith around here, but I really don't have a reputation for bullying people and I don't know why you would jump to that conclusion at all.

(I wasn't bullying Kurt either, but it's a separate point.)

Yes you were, you big bully. Why don't you pick on someone your own size? smile.gif
