Here are a few accusations about Wikipedia Review that SlimVirgin makes in her essay on the Poetlister affair: - The four of them ... proceeded to trash me with any allegation they could think of, including that I was a neo-Nazi pretending to be a Jew
- They were going to report me to an Israeli Embassy in Australia (where Blissy lived)
- They held a poll to decide whether the Mossad would kill me or jail me
- They posted that I had faked my own death, and that I was a teenage girl who had murdered her mother. Selina kept posting photographs of obese women, claiming they were me
- They discussed whether I feared being raped, what underwear I wore, whether I wanted to have sex with teenagers, and whether I had to sleep with men to get jobs.
- I was openly referred to as a whore and a cunt.
- An Iraq war veteran in Canada ... warned that I had better find a place to hide, because he was coming to look for me, and was looking forward to punching me in the face.
Slim doesn't provide any links. Here is my question: are any of these accusations even remotely true? I've been on WR for well over 2 years, and I can't recall a single one of these things happening (except maybe for some people addressing Slim with derogatory and sexist epithets). For those who've been on the site longer, does any of this ring true? What this appears to be is Slim attempting yet again to tar WR with outrageous but unprovable accusations, most sourced in ancient history and unrelated to the WR of today.

She also says that I sent her a Christmas message worded "ho, ho, ho." Now, I actually think that it's relatively witty, compared to the more general vituperation, but I don't think I can claim credit for it. It seems probable that Slim's allegation that "Herschelkrustofsky wished me Merry Christmas one year with a "ho, ho, ho.""… http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=236905028refers to these posts of Christmas 2006: QUOTE(gomi @ Tue 26th December 2006, 6:05am) Damn, you fooled me again.

Well, yes and no. They were pretty insulting but as ever, she twists it to make it seem a personal interaction rather than an offhand throwaway joke - as a Brit, it took me several reads to work out the sockpuppet remark. More interesting though is that nearly two years on, Slim has bookmarked, festered on, and rewritten and regurgitated a remark that was a throwaway comment. Wikipedians ability to bear a grudge over immense periods of time knows no bounds. To be frank, I'd be embarrassed to bring something like that up after this length of time. I propose that at next year's awards, we introduce the Grudge Bearing Award for the Wikipedian maintaining the longest grudge over the most trivial matter, extra points awarded for those who manage to get blocks and bans achieved on the basis of bringing these stale matters up. We could get several Eastern European states to sponsor it.

I am not clear that she has bookmarked these links, which I found in the course of my own research. Perhaps her hazy representation of the context in which these remarks were posted reflects her failure to adequately archive this material.

She also routinely misrepresents her archived material, assuming that she can get away with it due to the sheer volume of accusations that she presents. In this case, it is likely that you managed to find the actual basis for her accusation, which most people would not trouble themselves to do. And it is also clear that there was no personal "Christmas message" to her from either Gomi or myself. QUOTE(dogbiscuit @ Wed 17th September 2008, 3:38am) As others have commented, she can produce the links when she wants to, so always be suspicious if she chooses not to.
Bingo.

I agree that Slim's wording, "Herschelkrustofsky wished me Merry Christmas one year with a "ho, ho, ho."", is misleading on two counts. The first is that you were not the initiator of this "witticism", but only responded to Gomi. The second is, as you say, no personal message was sent to her; while Slim's language doesn't require this, it's the most natural reading.
