''Do you believe that regardless of Jimbo Wales' own views on the matter, the community should be able to strip arbitrators of their position under certain circumstances, and if so, what circumstances?''
I believe that the community should be able to strip arbitrators of their position under certain circumstances. As for certain circumstances, this could include a variety of things. Most specifically, this should include serious offences such as abuse of powers, harassing other members as well as fellow arbitrators, and outright arguing or taking specific sides regardless of clear judgment, should be grounds of dismissal. [[User:Ajwebb|Ajwebb]]
''As a corollory:Do you believe, regardless of Jimbo Wales' view on the matter, that a large number of signatories (e.g. 150 requesting censure against 50 supporting the arbitrator) to an RFC against an arbitrator is enough that the arbitrator should be judged as having been rejected by the community in light of their actions, and consequently for them to be forcibly stripped of their post?''
Yes, I believe as the majority, the arbitrator should be judged as having been rejected by the community in light of their actions. As long as the majority can be determined easily and clearly, that should be the decision. [[User:Ajwebb|Ajwebb]]
''[[WP:NPOV|wikipedia has a policy of NPOV]]. Excepting straw men, have you ever introduced a '''substantial''' opinion or fact that '''contradicts''' your own political or religious viewpoint into an article on a topic of which you have strong opinions, and if you have, how frequently do you do so compared to your other substatial edits to articles?''
I have not introduced a substantial opinion that contradicts my own political or religious viewpoint. However, I would not add my own opinions to an article. Wikipedia is not a forum for your own political or religious viewpoints. Instead, it is a place where all users of the Internet can receive free and neutral information. This is why I always keep an open mind and viewpoint, even if the matter contradicts my own political or religious viewpoints. [[User:Ajwebb|Ajwebb]]
Thank you for asking these questions. I would be happy to answer any others that you might have. [[User:Ajwebb|Ajwebb]]

3. Will you please pledge to support expanding the number of seats on the Arbitration Committee? If not, how would you propose alleviating the present arbitration backlog?
I will support expanding the number of seats in the Arbitration Committee to a reasonable number. However, this may not immediately alleviate the backlog. [[User:Ajwebb|Ajwebb]]
4. Have you voted over at [[Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_January_2006/Proposed_modifications_to_rules]]? If not, why not? If so, please summarize your votes.
I have not voted at the Proposed Modifications to Rules yet as I was not aware of the article. Thank you for brining this article to my attention, as I will now review it. [[User:Ajwebb|Ajwebb]]
