My request is that you very carefully check anything you say about me in future.
Slim, this venue does not really reward Wiki-style nano-parsing of people's statements. This is conversational, and it really doesn't work to try to turn things into a venue for "very careful". WordBomb or anyone else can say what he wants, which is
his impression of the conversation. No particular care is required.

I was always clear with you that I'd forwarded your e-mails to others, including ArbCom.
As an aside, I find it laughable that it is offense worthy of banning, stoning, or being drawn-and-quartered to publish an email sent to you by a WP admin, but an admin can forward an email on to a large, provably porous mailing list of people without a care. Another aspect of the Wikipedia
Reality Distortion Field, I guess.
For my part, I think that WordBomb's method of tracking his email was very clever, very pertinent to the situation, and well-justified. Oh, and most definitively not "spyware", and not even worse than what Google does to me 1000 times a day. But that's just me.

It has changed radically. It's much more of a serious criticism site now. I don't want to give examples of previous claims made about me (or else Glassbeadgame will start posting again about how "oh, poor me" doesn't "work here"), but suffice to say they were ridiculous at best, often hurtful, and sometimes creepy.
It was a serious criticism site then, as well, you were just less well-disposed to seeing WP and your own behaviour criticized. And if you think anything you were called then is worse than what you participated in versus Lar, or what people have said going after FT2, then your empathy bone is broken. Yes, posting pictures of enormously fat women and labeling them with your pseudonym was childish and not helpful, but it didn't, by itself, make WR other than a valid site for criticism. There is little being said now on this forum that wasn't also being said two years ago. You just didn't want to listen then.
