You may want to review WP:NPA. Why do you assume that "one post" versus "eight times" constitutes a lie, rather than an error. I was not and am not a member of the investigations list, but I can easily imagine it being quite easy to misremember the exact participation on a list. I am happy to let SlimVirgin answer for herself, but on the other hand, I can hardly blame her if she just wants to ignore you... the assumption of bad faith and unwillingness to engage her in a sincere dialog in an attempt to understand strikes me as something you might want to drop. Remember, assumption of bad faith is exactly what got Durova going down the wrong path. Don't follow.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 04:15, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

This is beyond ridiculous.

You say you were only subscribed for 16 days, and honestly cannot see how amending - after challenged - "only a single post" to "an average of a post every second day for the duration" might seem even a little disingenuous? Achromatic (talk) 05:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


omg is that common sense i hear? quick, quash it!

So Durova gets be the posterchild to be pointed to when Jimbo needs an example of what happens when you assume bad faith?

Okay, so she deserves it....but it's not very elegant or....gentleman-like for Jimbo to be making statements like this. He'll use anyone, won't he?

Well, in all fairness, she IS the poster child to be pointed to for bad faith...

He'll use anyone? Cripes! Understatement of the year! This is a man who made his first fortune scraping the porn of strangers off the internet and reselling it as his own.

Is that even a question? Please.

(Berrrk!) /*Spits up coffee*/

The words "elegant", and "gentleman" don't belong in the same sentence with "Jimbo" .

What Jimbo thinks:I can absolutely empathize with this problem. I myself seemed to forget that I, Jimbo Wales was sitting in India's largest technology park during the Essjay affair, and misrecalled that I, Jimbo Wales was in the jungle, away from the internet, and didn't understand how freaked out the world was at what a sociopath I, Jimbo Wales was serious it was.

What Jimbo thinks:Yes, we only accept insincere dialogue. Piss off kiddie.

Jimbo must be a real jerk to ask a question on Cla68's talk page and then threaten and bully him (and allow others to do the same) when he answers honestly.
