For what its worth, FuelWagon has now turned Jayjg's ArbCom candidate
question page into his own personal battleground. FuelWagon's
"questions" span five sub-sections, have dozens of diffs and are filled with
endless rhetorical statements. However, this doesn't even begin to compare
with the 16 section response to his RfC a while back: (
