Line 23:

Above all, the most severe problem facing the Committee is its speed. Justice delayed is justice denied. If I'm elected, I will personally begin work on findings if no evidence has been presented in a new case in a week, and if there's problems getting arbitrators to vote, I will personally see that each arbitrator is aware that their presence is required.

I believe I shouldn't have too much trouble staying impartial. I've requested action against users that I agree with ideologically, and I've defended users I personally dislike. I firmly believe that we should give an individual every chance to reform if they have a record of legitimate (and I use this term loosely) contributions in addition to those which are problematic. ThatAt saidthe same time, I have very little sympathy for the garden- variety edit warrior who comes here only to push their point of view on a particular issue at the expense of all others. Nevertheless, where possible, I advocate restricting such editors from areas where they cannot edit neutrally in favour of a full ban, which I believe should only be used as means of last resort.

That said, I have very little sympathy for the garden-variety warrior who comes here only to push their point of view on a particular issue at the expense of all others.

That's what you could expect from my term if elected. If you have any questions or concerns, ''please'' contact me [[User:Ambi/Questions for the candidate|here]] - I'd be happy to hear from you. [[User:Ambi|Ambi]] 03:13, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
