#Carefully read Wikipedia's policies! |

#Take care that every edit was well within policy guide lines. |

#Take care that I was polite and positive even when being attacked. |

The good of Wikipedia must be our priority
Back in Oct. 2011, I was told that I would be hounded on every article that I worked, until I was "driven from this encyclopedia". By 2012, I made the decision not to be intimidated and fight back. My plan of "passive resistance" was as follows:
- Carefully read Wikipedia's policies!
- Take care that every edit was well within policy guide lines.
- Take care that I was polite and positive even when being attacked.
- Whenever I was charged with wrongdoing, I stopped editing immediately. I sought advice from Admins and Bureaucrats and did not resume editing until the issue was resolved. In those cases where I was mistaken or 'messed up' I promptly apologized and rectified my error.
If I succeed at arbitration I will have shown that one good faith user can stand up to even a large number of problem users. I will have proven Wikipedia works and there is no need to fight "fire" with "fire" or form a gang in order to edit at Wikipedia.
