Parties' agreement to mediation

If you are a named party, please sign below and indicate whether you agree or refuse to participate in mediation. Remember that all editors are obliged to resolve disputes about content through discussion, mediation, or other similar means. If you do not wish to participate in mediation, you must arrange another form of dispute resolution. Comments and questions should be made underneath the numbered list below, to avoid confusion.
  1. Agree. Retartist (talk) 04:25, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
  2. Disagree. There is nothing to discuss with single-purpose accounts who have done nothing but disrupt and violate WP:BLP, a core policy of the project; they simply need to be removed from the topic area and all will be fine. Especially when the filing party's 1st edit to the topic had to be rev-deleted, and who felt that misogyny and sexism has another "side" that is unfairly represented.

If you actually read my filling reason it was that at the time i felt that the article needed to be nuked then rewritten as it read like an essay on how the whole gaming industry is sexist and bad. I now realise that that was the wrong way to go about it BUT please dont misrepresent my words and use ad-hominem as an argument Retartist (talk) 05:24, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Decision of the Mediation Committee

This section should only be edited by a mediator. The Mediation Committee's representative will indicate in due course whether the request is accepted (meaning a mediator will be assigned) or rejected (meaning you will have to try a different type of dispute resolution). If the mediator asks you a question in this section, you may edit here.
