No, no, guys. Thanks for the trust, but there's no need to even discuss my candidacy – I barely have time for the Portal as it is – I'm practically the only one there, and you have bureaucracy in full bloom :)
And they'll accuse me of power grabbing later :D
I'd rather be an arbitrator – I'll oversee things from the sidelines ;)

Maybe we should invite Peterius – out of all the accusers, his position and posts seemed to me to be the most worthy of respect, both in terms of arguments and in terms of tone; I didn't feel any desire or reason to attack him.

I completely agree.

Yes, besides the highly respected members of the Arbitration Committee, there are people on our forum who, in my opinion, deserve to be part of it. These are (I emphasize, IMHO): Loi - for honesty, genuine promotion, and teaching in the best sense of the word; rebellious - for the precision of his formulations, ironclad logic, and masterful command of language; Piterius - for objectivity, principled stance, and clearly argued position. All of this is purely my IMHO.

Yeah. Let's assume that the decision was made to keep the Arbitration Committee, and we need to figure out how to move forward.

Wicc, you are truly a unique person. I never cease to be amazed by your flexibility. I really didn't expect to hear something like that from you. Thank you for the recommendation, but the composition is not formed by invitation, but as a result of elections. The forum members will determine by their votes who they want to see in the Arbitration Committee. Actually, I wouldn't mind. But not quite in the role of a mouthpiece, as you describe. I have my own views and opinions on what is happening, a clear perspective, so to speak.

Regarding the disagreements – yes, there were tough disagreements, but I think they were beneficial for both of us.

Vic, you are truly a unique person. I never cease to be amazed by your flexibility.

You could have also called her a political prostitute :D

To avoid any misunderstandings, I'll say right away - I haven't changed my opinion about the Academy in its current composition and status, but since the patient is so resistant to a methodically sound amputation, we can try to cure what we have somehow.

I am generally satisfied with the current composition of the Arbitration Committee (AC), but there are a few members who have taken a clearly passive stance, and I don't like that. I propose replacing some of them with NumOne. After talking with this person, I can describe him as quite balanced, consistent, and honest. He is able to express himself clearly, concisely, and unambiguously, and he doesn't engage in wordiness or populism like Ketch and Vik, which is already tiresome to read. Some argue that

The posts are so long and tedious because not everyone is quick-witted enough to immediately understand the correctness of the central idea, so justification is required.

However, in reality, they use methods of fascist propaganda, hoping for success: "A lie told a hundred times becomes the truth," repeating the same thing in different words. An AC member should be guided not by personal preferences, sympathies, or antipathies, but by the rules, which are the same for all forum players, regardless of their skill level or authority. I would trust NumOne with judging and membership in the AC. P.S. Vik, understand that you will never be able to impose your opinion on people. Only 7 people support you on this topic, mostly from the "Bayan" section. It would be better if you did something useful instead – create some templates, fix things, or promote TE and WT.
