I had assumed that the endorsements both had to come from users other than the one who filed the complaint. As for needing to do more for the rfc to be considered filed.  I used that template they provided what more do they want?  Thanks for notifying me of these things.  As for this RfC being a good idea.  Well, the run up to mediation did not change Dicklyon's behavior one iota.  I also do not think it likely that DarlieB will agree to mediation in the frist place. I also have no real faith in mediation for this problem, not at this point.  I don't think there is a point in engaging in a mediated settlement with Dicklyon.  He will just aborogate it when it suits him.      

I'll try to get these little formalities right.  So far I have read that page and did what I understood I was supposed to do.  Perhaps this processs needs simplification.
