I am withdrawing from the race. I place my full support behind Raul654 and Ambi (this doesn't mean I don't support others, it just means that I trust these two users the most!). - [[User:Ta bu shi da yu|Ta bu shi da yu]] 01:51, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I'm an old hand, having been with Wikipedia since July 2001. I used to be an everyday editor, but I've scaled back my efforts this past year. I'm skeptical of concentrations of power and a strong support of the modes of governance espoused in MeatballWiki. I think that voting mechanisms generally reflect a certain laziness, not really the Wiki Way of working together to create a consensus opinion. My questioning of the legitimacy of authority puts me into conflict with others, but I'm always, always willing to work with others to find understanding and common ground. I have a strong distaste for the destruction of information and knowledge. I believe in WikipediAhimsa.

What does this have to do with the ArbCom? Just, I suppose, that I'm guaranteed to represent a skeptical voice on the committee but one always seeking positive action. [[User:The Cunctator|The Cunctator]] 20:20, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
