:'''A''': OK, I've now re-read (skimming in some places) that very long thread from 2009, and the 'aftermath' bit where we talked on that userspace page of mine. My present thoughts on how your request was handled back then are that, quite frankly, it was a mess and it could have been handled a lot better. For that I apologise unreservedly. My own role, it appears, was to say far too much, though I see a lot of other people said a lot back then as well. What I would do differently today, if a similar request came up, would be to be more concise, to keep discussion on-wiki, and to not use the mailing list in the way it was used back then. My view of the part Jimmy played in the proceedings are that he did cross a line several times that he should not have done, but this is (or should be) old history now. The constitutional crisis died with a whimper, despite efforts on my part and by others to move the issue forward again (I mention this in the aftermath bit). It is possible that the arbitration policy that was eventually voted on (some years later I think) included some formal changes along these lines with respect to the relationship between Jimmy and ArbCom. It is possible that the Timid Guy ban appeal case (held earlier this year) saw other changes. As for the relationship between Jimmy and Wikipedia as a whole, that is not a matter for ArbCom, though I see the issue is topical once more if you look at his comments made [[User_talk:Jimbo_Wales/Archive_120#Electoral_Commission_RfC_Closure|here]] after being notified of the Electoral Commission set up for these elections. See also what was said [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2012&diff=515440718&oldid=515439474 here] by Jimmy in his partial endorsement at the RfC for that Electoral Commission. I hope all this answers your questions. [[User:Carcharoth|Carcharoth]] ([[User talk:Carcharoth|talk]]) 00:46, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
