:: So much for avoiding politics, Shane. I guess it sought you out. I'm sorry that the users in question have dragged you into their personal battle. You're very fair-minded (the quality that makes you fit to be an admin) and for some, that's not a particularly desirable quality![[User:Dr Zen|Dr Zen]] 07:35, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
::That’s what I was hoping you would say, but it didn't seem fair to expect it, and I thought the decent thing to do was to offer you a way out. Be aware that not only do some wiki's hold grudges (something I am increasingly trying not to do) but they also keep extensive "mailing lists" to rally support when needed. This has been known to backfire of course, alot of my support votes for adminship were from people who were contacted with the expectation they'd vote against me, but its something to be aware of nonetheless. To be perfectly frank, I think your consistent show of integrity better qualifies you for a prominent and contentious position such as arbiter more than any of the other candidates (admittedly I don't know some of them very well at all) and out of the two of us, I'd rather see you win than I. I hope none of these recent circumstances cause you any undu stress, and please do let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you. Glad to have you here, [[User:Sam Spade|[[User:Sam Spade|Sam]] [[User talk:Sam Spade|Spade]] [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2004|Arb Com election]]]] 13:50, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
