> I totally agree. Being an Arbiter is one of the hardest cabals to be in, if you are doing things the way you are supposed to that is.
> I also agree that the Arbiters are not a fool proof way to enforce the laws. I have been attacked many times and complained, but my case refused. I have also been wanted because an Arbiter applicant heard someone yell about dirt kicked in their eyes. And the arbiter told me that he had two witnesses, the applicant, who never left his guild to see if it was a real yell, and his other witness was the person who was attacked. Despite all the things I threw at him to falter his case, the flag remained. This has happened several times to my other characters. Now, I find it much harder respect arbiters who place flags with a minimal amount of evidence, when I am playing my higher ranked Arbiter, but I can't let any of that influance me.
> So I know, and obviously the other arbiters know, that we are not perfect. But it is hard, and just because you don't get your way, don't go saying things like "You fucking dick licking homo, I fucked your war-amp mom today and took a shit on her face". Now I know, that there might be someone who roleplays a foul mouthed little bastard...but, I don't think 90% of the mud does, so try and keep your temper in check. Yelling and calling names DOESN"T help you at all. And it doesn't really make me think I've done something wrong or anything. I just ignore it. So anyway, hmm..I've lost my point, oh well.
