Although I think EP could have acted a bit better on the case simply saying I won t use the tools on articles I have edited can be a little hard when you have a lot of edits like EP and Myself With over 100 000 edits across several thousand articles many of which are FA and or in the public eye that could be very hard As other users have suggested I also agree that this user should do everything in their power to keep out of Arbcom Some comments have been made that its not that bad but the Arbcom s mission whether I agree with the end results of cases or not does not grant them the requirement of being benevolent to editors so if the case is accepted its just going to force a negative outcome on the user and likely ruin their attitude for editing Which would be a sincere shame IMO EP I know that you have been an admin for quite a while and have done a lot of good that many just aren t seeing at the moment but I hope that no matter what the outcome you continue editing I recently attempted RFA myself for the 2nd time andn although I think I would make a fine admin the community feels otherwise so I continue to edit In the end I enjoy editing and if the community doesn t want me to do more to use my skills and to help out then that s fine its really not that big of a deal there s still lots to do
