# Given that you have [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Silverback|recently been admonished]] by the ArbCom for making personal attacks and edit warring, do you think that you are an appropriate candidate for such a position of trust within the community? Furthermore, given that the target of your personal attacks was [[User:172|172]], who is also a current candidate, how would you be able to perform your functions properly in the event that both of you were elected to the ArbCom? --[[User:Thebainer|bainer]] ([[User_talk:Thebainer|talk]]) 13:54, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
#:Thanx for the questions. If you observe the discussions between 172 and myself on content, for example on the neoconservatism articles and on the dictator deletion pages, you will find that we are able to stick to the merits. My alleged "personal attacks" on 172 were in response to incidents of abuse of processes by 172, his unilateral reopening of a closed vote for deletion, and his personal use of admin powers in an earlier incident. If you examine these "personal attacks" you will find they are not the typical name calling, but are themselves very analytical. These analytical skills and my bulldogged insistence in consequences for violations, especially by those that presume to judge or punish others, are quite apropo and useful in the tasks of the arbitration committee. I have an intimate understanding of the causes and nature of edit warring which will aid the deliberations of the committee. The current sanctions I am under, will not impact the performance of my arbitration duties, as reverts are seldom needed and when needed can be requested of admins. The energy I put into the alleged "personal attacks", will be properly directed into analysis and crafting general precedents that will improve the fairness and the perception of fairness in the wikipedia culture. -- thanx again for your consideration of my nomination. --[[User:Silverback|Silverback]] 14:35, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
