David has long had my respect for his ability to describe and understand the various problems at Wikipedia -- his approach to conflicts is very reasonable, in my opinion, and I believe he strikes an excellent balance between assuming good faith (as so many seem to abandon these days) and allowing users to wreak havoc (which also seems prevalent). I believe his intelligence and his ability to collaborate would be of real help to the Arbitration Committee. Jwrosenzweig 00:09, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Support. While I haven't worked directly with David here on Wikipedia (except to note that he has reverted a few of my edits ;), I have seen his work in a number of Usenet groups where he has shown intelligence & insight concerning many issues. I feel he would be an asset to the Arbitration Committee. -- llywrch 17:05, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
