In the light of unpleasant recent events, Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee has once again come under fire from editors who are displeased with some aspect of its performance. While it is understood that the arbitrators are not perfect and have made mistakes, some of which have had very regrettable consequences, Wikipedians in general would do well to remember that each and every arbitrator is also a human being, one that has devoted a sizable amount of his or her time to do Wikipedia's dirty work. Sadly, this difficult task is often compounded by the unnecessarily vitriolic criticism that the ArbCom is regularly subjected to, criticism that may derive from valid complaints, but that is expressed in nonconstructive ways. The editors who have signed below indicate their understanding and acceptance of the reality that Arbs are people too and should be afforded the same level of courtesy as anyone else.
