My running is basically a protest against the arbitration process as it is, not against any particular member of the arbcom itself since I deeply respect all of them i've talked to individually. My goal will be a drastic reform of the entire arbitration system.
Although my hope is that this won't be the case, I would consider this entire election to be invalid if
Jimbo Wales interfered in any way, unless he truly does look down upon other Wikipedians, thus destroying the idea that Wikipedia is
Egalitarian, which I am beginning to believe is not the case.
You can see some of my ideas for reforming Policy creation and enforcement
here. I wish all the other candidates the best of luck, and ask all the voters to let me know what I can do to gain your trust.
