| == Your claims and contact with TJ Walker and Carolyn of WMF == | |||
| Hi Dino, | |||
| You claimed on Jan. 15, 2007, that you contacted author TJ Walker (regarding an article used to support claims of death threats in the ] article) and that this author told you that he never wrote the article in question.''' ''"I contacted TJ Walker and asked him whether he authored the article. He said, "Of course not."''''' It's been '''proven''' that TJ Walker actually '''did''' write the article - and it's even archived from his website on the www ). Here is a list of the dozens of articles, including the one in question titled ''''7-6-99 Is the FreeRepublic.Com Really DeathThreat.Com?' ''', which you claim Walker told you that he ''''didn't write''''. Based on your false claims, a Wiki Foundation employee (who is not an active editor) ] edited the contested FR article and removed critical material . | |||
| Could you explain the inconsistancy between your claim of TJ saying he didn't write the article, and '''the truth''', and chronicle any interactions you had with TJ Walker - and with Carolyn WMF that resulted in her editing the article on your behalf on Jan 15? Thanks. ] | |||
| :He doesn't have to explain anything to you. Nor is he responsible for explaining why TJ Walker would say he didn't write an article or whether TL walker actually wrote it or not. He also not responsible for the content of TJ Walker articles or the content of Free Republic. Your implied accusation here and the accusation of lying on your talk page is a Personal Attack and does not AGF. PLease remove it. --] 03:59, 26 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::Beatty, If you actually believe that TJ Walker, a noted published author, liberal pundit, and ''"presentation coach and media trainer to prime ministers, premiers, Nobel Peace Prize winners, and CEOs."'' told Dean that he '''didn't write''' the article in question, I got some swamp land in the ] I wanna sell 'ya! LOL! - ] 07:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == some advice == | |||
| Don't be baited by BenBurch and FAAFA. You are not required to answer to their concerns about content or answer any of their questions. Defend yourself from policy violations on AN/I but don't be drawn into discussions about content there. In fact, a good response is to tell them to take content issue to the articles talk page. They will bait you into a personal attack or some other violation (I see they trotted the "legal threat" card already). You've already been cleared of SockPuppet. Simply repeat it everytime they imply it. --] 03:52, 26 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :Thank you. And thanks for sticking up for me. I've been back for only about 10 hours and it already feels like a three-day criminal trial. ] 03:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::I've asked FAAFA to refactor his personal attack (accusation of lying) on his talk page. He deleted the comment. You may want to comment on AN/I after I file it. You may also want to ask him to refactor it on his talk page as well. --] 04:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
