Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Candidate statements/DG

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Jguk (talk | contribs) at 22:29, 19 October 2005 (some other questions). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

My statement is reproduced here:

Yes, I realise that everyone else who is standing for election is filling their statement with abstract philosophical views, but I don't think that's the most effective and pragmatic approach. I intend to bring a (sorely needed) sense of humour and perspective to the proceedings of the committee. Perhaps then disputes could be handled more fairly and efficiently. Excessive seriousness and organisation can be counter-productive to any work. With work so important and serious as that of this committee, airs of seriousness or importance could be lethal D.

Questions

  1. Would you be terrific, in your post? D. G. 02:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    Absolutely. There is no doubt about it, to be certain. D. G. 02:17, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Blah blah blither blather ArbCom? Andre (talk) 02:18, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    I beg to differ on that issue, Andre. Respectfully. D. G. 02:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  3. What is your stance on the affirmative action taxation of gay marriage in the crack-addicted aborted baby military occupying Eurasian prostitution embezzlement organized crime church tort schools, and how will this affect your ability to arbitrate as effectively and ineffectively as you can and cannot? -Silence 06:36, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, naturally, I think we should see who can contribute more money to my campaign, gay crack-addicted aborted babies, or the Eurasian prostitution organised crime/schooling religious establishment. I think this will, unfortauntely, affect my ability to arbitrate extremely strongly. Namely it will increase it much, just as danger increases alertness. With the Eurasian tort threat always in my mind I will have my senses heightened to a level that I will become one with the cases I arbitrate and whir out verdicts like a mechanised verdict-rendering machine. Thus, I would be wary. Unscrupulous opponents of my campaign may try to destroy this Eurasian tort threat in order to sabotage my performance. D. G. 22:28, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
