RMHED recently took part in trying to start a rather ridiculous arb case([1]) against User:David Gerard (related to User:Giano II). Together with his answer to the question about about vested contributors ("It's foolish to pretend that all contributors are equal, certain allowances should be made to those who have made significant contributions."), it makes me worried that he is joining arbcom to serve his in-clique rather than the whole community. (Comment base entirely on those two facts, no comment about his other work) --Apoc2400 (talk) 19:11, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• It seemed to me and still does, to have been a very bad block By David Gerard, he knew the account was Giano's long before the checkuser result. So what did the block accomplish, it certainly wasn't preventative, but rather it was punitive. These type of bad blocks of high profile content contributors inevitably result in drama. I'm really not in any clique, I've never once even posted a message on Giano's talk page nor he on mine, except once under the Catherine de Burgh account.

This worries me quite a bit. In Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dendodge 3, RHMED is opposing due to age, thus violating WP:AAAD. --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 23:09, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Violating an essay that expresses someone's opinion, my how terrible. RMHED (talk) 01:38, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
