Is ArbCom likely to look at, and respond to, the ridiculous mess / pissing contest that is going on at the moment at [[Wikipedia:Ani#Block_of_User:William_M._Connolley_by_User:The_Wordsmith|ANI]]? WMC has been imposed with a sanction that is being interpreted in a preposterously literal way; unsurprisingly, he has responded provocatively and disappointingly several administrators (including a "recused" Arbitrator) aren't exercising good judgment and common sense. Please step in, declare that the incident will be resolved in the (hopefully) upcoming decision, and end this pissing contest before we get groups of admins fighting each other over an incident that should have been ignored in the first place.

::We are aware of the incident and the ANI discussion (though we may miss other discussions unless they are explicitly pointed out). We don't have any special powers to stop slow-motion train wrecks, though my initial thoughts are that stuff like this happening is likely to delay the posting of a proposed decision, so those still butting heads over issues like this might like to consider that the next time they ask why the posting of the proposed decision is delayed. If there are many more incidents like this, I may propose an injunction on all participants in the case for not just a topic ban, but a non-interaction restriction as well.

:::All WMC had to do was to say "yes, I'd be willing to hold off inserting my comments into other people's text while we get this reviewed", and this wouldn't have happened. In fact, if he said it now (no apologies, no mea culpas, etcetera), I'd be the first one in line to unblock him myself. While I cannot speak for any of the drafting arbitrators, if they can fit it in, perhaps we can explicitly review that specific climate change sanction as part of the PD? But the impetus in this slow motion train wreck was WMC's rejection of the sanction, and the affect it had on everyone else. I reduced the block and re-enabled his right to edit his talk page in hopes of defusing this, to snuff out the fuse. His decision was to re-light the fuse.
