I don't object to arbitrators doing nothing. At least that way they're not doing any harm.
The ferret fucker's definition of harm, is of course when they do stuff like this......
Eric Corbett agrees to a restriction prohibiting him from shouting at, swearing at, insulting and/or belittling other editors. The restriction comes into immediate effect on the passing of this motion.
If Eric Corbett finds himself tempted to engage in prohibited conduct, he is to disengage and either let the matter drop or refer it to another editor to resolve.
What a bunch of evil bastards they really are.
The ferret fucker is of course incapable of adhering to this simple condition, which is merely a restatement of the basic policy he agreed to follow by voluntarily being a Wikipedian (there's evidently no hope of anyone on Wikipedia really understanding this was what was meant by the infamous 'not a Wikipedian' comment by an Arbitrator deliberating in the Eric Corbett problem).
ArbCom doesn't do any arbitration, and never has in my experience. So for it to do something else instead would be a kind of fraud, therefore best it does nothing.
A fraud? Really? As much of a fraud as calling the likes of
you an editor of that "
encyclopedia"?
This guy is pricless. Spends over ten years on Wikipedia, finally realises it isn't for him, and rocks up at a supposed critic forum to tell people what they have known for over ten years. Wikipedia has its own very fucked up glossary, which is chock full of words that mean one thing in the real world, but which don't mean that in Wikipedia usage. It doubt it bothered him before, indeed I don't doubt he exploited the confusion it sows in newbies just as enthusiastically as any other Wikipedia scumbag does as they busy themselves with the important task of OWNing the shit out of their territory.
And of course, given the ferret fucker's loudly and repeated position - ArbCom can go fuck themselves if they think he is going to lower himself to participating in their show trials, they can forget it, it seems unlikely this hostile reaction to a community accepted process of dispute resolution would have been markedly different had someone framed it as his chance to participate in arbitration in the real sense of the word.
Eric wanted no part of any process under the purview of ArbCom for one very simple reason - they carry authority. He needn't have worried, as in his trailblazing style, the open defiance of many an Administrator to defy ArbCom's authority to protect the ferret fucker from the consequences of his own actions, marked the beginning of the end for that body.
It is remarkable when you think about it, just how many aspects of Wikipedia the ferret fucker has had a big hand in destroying. I have sometimes seen people say that those of us who wish to see Wikipedia destroyed, should celebrate the achievements of people like the ferret fucker, who have done such stellar service in that regard.
These people are misguided at best, and they certainly do not speak for me. Anyone who is OK with what the ferret fucker got away with for over a decade, is simply showing the have zero respect for their fellow humans. Contrary to Wikipedia mythology, at least half of his victims were entirely innocent, duped by the false promises given out by the cult. Others were baited into their own crimes against him, and yet funnily enough, never received the mitigation Wikipedia so readily offered the ferret fucker.
Someone should remind the ferret fucker that arbitration in the real world sense of the term, is a two way street, and he has never liked it when other people get their fair chance to say what their experience of interacting with him was really like. He positively hates the truth. Like all scumbags.
That is why you will never see the ferret fucker here, correcting or disputing anything said. He prefers the company of people who readily buy into his mythological history of his time there, his perpetual victimhood, his paradoxical positions, and his endless stream of utterly self-serving bullshit. He loved Wikipedia, because there's few places in the real world where that is tolerated for over a decade, and is mourned when it is finally gone. He would have made a fine US President.
