Jytdog's off-wiki harassment of another editor, as the evidence shows, was the culmination of ''years'' of abusive behavior, including edit-warring, rudeness, bullying, intimidation, gaming the rules, and personalizing disputes.

Jytdog probably has driven away more potentially productive editors than any other editor in WP's history. Isn't ArbCom supposed to provide leadership over WP's administrative system? So, what is ArbCom doing to provide further instruction, guidance, and remedies to WP's active administrators to make sure that any other editor currently active who is acting like Jytdog is being corrected? Also, what about the evidence that was presented that Jytdog's behavior was tolerated because he was helping defend certain "holy" topics like medicine and healthcare, and science?

Behaviour on this page: Arbitration case pages exist to assist the Arbitration Committee in arriving at a fair, well-informed decision. You are required to act with appropriate decorum during this case. While grievances must often be aired during a case, you are expected to air them without being rude or hostile, and to respond calmly to allegations against you. Accusations of misbehaviour posted in this case must be proven with clear evidence (and otherwise not made at all). Editors who conduct themselves inappropriately during a case may be sanctioned by an arbitrator or clerk, without further warning, by being banned from further participation in the case, or being blocked altogether. Personal attacks against other users, including arbitrators or clerks, will be met with sanctions. Behavior during a case may also be considered by the committee in arriving at a final decision.

Minor style issue

Incredibly minor point but is the talk quote template necessary in the Locus of Dispute section? I get that the text was inserted later but I don't think that's important now and it looks a little odd.-- P-K3 (talk) 12:40, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
