VandalSniper Application

I have applied for Vandal Sniper. I know I have not had recent activity, but I have been busy this past few months, and will become more free starting Apr. 21, and will monitor a lot more starting then. --Aremith 03:09, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

There's a few applications sitting there at the moment, so I'll head over now, and handle them all. I have noted your point about inactivity, and will certainly factor it in. Regards, Anthøny 12:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Rejected Mediation Case

Dear Anthony, this note is in reference to this mediation case, which you recently rejected. I'd like for you to see Ryan Postlethwaite's note here in which he says that this case will in fact be accepted. Curious what happened? Bstone (talk) 03:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi AGK: For some odd reason, Bstone cannot accept rejection. In spite of the fact that he started a still open RfC against me at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/IZAK2 where the vast majority of editors disagreed with him and where there are still motions that have not been brought to closure, his next complaints were rejected at ANI, and still not able to deal with that he went ahead and started a RfA which was rejected by the ArbCom, and now after he has been informed that his RfM is rejected as well, he comes here to probe why that has happened, but which comes as no big surprise because he cannot accept rejection and is avoidant of any meaningful direct discussions with me either at his or my talk pages or at WP:JUDAISM where my initial complaints against his nominations to delete synagogue articles/stubs caused him to be outraged enough to keep up the barrage of RfCs, ANIs, RfAs and now RfMs all falling flat and being rejected and he evidently cannot deal with that. He needs to stop his attacks and slander against me and come face to face with me, the sooner the better, and talk to me directly rather than violating WP:POINT, WP:LAWYER and WP:HARASS (what else to call it?) and wasting the time of so many editors, admins and committees. If he does not, then I shall consider filing some motions against him on the basis of all his failed attacks against me as outlined above. Thank you. IZAK (talk) 07:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Just as a response to the initial enquiry, you guys have attempted very little in the way of prior dispute resolution: structured discussion, third opinions, or informal mediation. All of these are very much necessary to attempt and fully exhaust in a dispute; only if they are fruitless, or unresolved issues still remain, will the Mediation Committee consider taking a dispute. Formal mediation is very much at the latest stages of the dispute resolution process, and the fact that the intermediate steps of that process have been jumped (defeating the spirit of the DR system: make maximum use of all available mediums of resolution) means that the case was never going to be accepted at its current stage. I'm not sure why Ryan suggested it would be speedily accepted; perhaps we wasn't fully familiar with the dispute, but unfortunately only he can answer that query. At the dispute's present life span, however, acceptance from the Committee is not forthcoming. Anthøny 12:39, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
