Hello Boris!

My rationale from way back in 2008 still applies. - ha ha yes, but you voted for Risker William M. Connolley (talk) 16:35, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Hm, yes, that one certainly went sour didn't it? But based on the information we had at the time it was the right decision. Arbcom tends to change people; who knew she would become so arrogant and condescending. "Surprises" like this are why I'm so hesitant to support even candidates who look reasonable on the surface.

I: I went for I, in the end. You provide two WR links, but they are the same (no?). In [1] I see him dissing AGK and Hersfold, and I can't see what is wrong with that William M. Connolley (talk) 23:36, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

NYB

I support NYB, albeit with some concern. As you write, he is very fair-minded. He also is among the more active arbiters, both in actual arbitration (or what passes for it on Wikipedia) and in engaging people directly. I have two concerns. First, he compromises too much, and if he does, he essentially stops defending his real positions. It's a "lesser of two evils" problem. I'd prefer someone with stronger principles than that. And secondly, his decorum and writing skills gives ArbCom an image of legitimacy that it rarely deserves. But on the whole I think he is a positive contribution to the mix, and would be more positive if the mix as a whole were better. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 09:14, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

That's why you can't vote for him, you have to vote for the Worst :) .Count Iblis (talk) 02:02, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Your oppose

I find it humorous that you think my private correspondence and outing responses are "Atrocious, almost frightening". Did you overlook my professional background disclosure? I have been paid to guard other people's secrets for... well, more than half my life, at this point. If you find the voice of experience so disheartening, what on earth were you looking for in response to those questions? Jclemens (talk) 05:42, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Apologies, my original language was over the top and on reflection I've toned it down. But the basic concern stands. Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 03:12, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate the revision. I may or may not be given a chance to prove your request unfounded, and I can't assuage your fears (I've handled far bigger secrets competently) without entirely outing myself, but the gesture is certainly appreciated. Jclemens (talk) 03:18, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

For next time....
