This isn't what mediation and arbitration were
intended for. This should probably go to the normal
system of discussing it for a few days until a
consensus forms that it is the same person (or it
might not, but I think they are the same). Jimbo might
use his discresion on this, but that would be the
first time I can think of that he does something like
that without significant discussion.
