(Haha Somebody tell John, 4 weeks is about his average response time based on this page.  For clarity, this comment was a joke, not a personal attack)
 Just a suggestion, but I feel that it may be worth just lifting the failed sanctions imposed by John, leaving the well established and well tried Arbcom sanctions in place. This has the advantage of lifting the present chilling effects on mainstream editors. All those experienced fringe editors who have left this page are well used to working with them, and the results have been good for the project. SPAs, IP editors with vested interests, COI eds and fringe theory advocates have all been successfully prevented from disrupting the project on very controversial pages simply by using said sanctions. Please consider this, bearing in mind that Arbcom sanctions were not explicitly imposed on this page when John's Ad Hoc sanctions were imposed. Thanks. - (resonate)
