Hey Hurricanefan, I just wanted to take a moment to explain the block you highlighted since it seems to have had an impact on your decision. That block, and this one (which precipitated mine) were part of an exchange between Alexandria and myself on IRC; I can assure you that no harm was intended or caused by these blocks; you'll note we took care to limit the duration and prevent any collateral from these blocks. I do agree with you that a bit of humor in ArbCom, and in fact all across Wikipedia, is well needed, but I can definitely assure you that jokes of this nature will be very few and far between, particularly now I know that it is a cause of concern with others.

Additionally, I would like to again point out that my availability henceforth will not be a serious concern; I have a much more regular and predictable schedule now, and any absences I do have will be planned well in advance and announced to the Committee to ensure that there are no issues with the Committee's work.
