As the person e-mailing me put it
"It looks like the arbcom is going to put them both on POV parole,
which is silly; they have this thing about equal treatment. It's like
if I report someone to the police for a theft, the police first of all
have to investigate whether I've committed theft too, because if they
charge one, they have to charge both."
Is this a valid concern?
I don't think so. Arbitration is part of dispute resolution. The
arbitrators must examine the behavior of all parties to the dispute in
order to arrive at factual findings and remedies that will stick.
