It's a bit too late now given the amount of thread views,
It is never too late to do the right thing, Jorge. I'm sure this kid would appreciate it. And the thread views are from last night, in the heat of the discussion. Probably 7% of them saw your post.
And why not delete it, other than to show that you can deduce skillfully. We all know that, but why not show you are considerate too, if you please.

and Giano seems to imply that it's quite well known anyway.
Maybe among his friends, sure. But it isnt published online. His angst at having had his private information bandied about *is* published online (Durovas talk page), so why not be a decent guy and delete it?

I actually thought that this whole thing might have been a scheme hatched up by Durova to draw Giano (her opponent for Arbcom) into a protracted argument in a hope to portray him as unreasonable and argumentative.
Maybe. You are giving her more credit than I do. Because I see her doing this to everyone, often. The subgoal is always to portray the victim (or anyone who disputes her) as argumentative and unreasonable. If she can pin a sock accusation on any person (weaker than her), she'll do it. This poor kid didn't even do anything wrong, and maybe didnt even disagree with her, just was a name change she sussed out and attacked.
If she were a clever strategist, she's have lain low until elections, not shot for a big drama. Her love of sleuthing and fighting are already well known. But I dont think she *can* keep a low profile. Which will make her possible Arbcom tenure a multi-show ticket selling event.

You do realise that now that you've caught these nobody will ever be able to use them on-wiki as evidence against her, right....?
Not so. Most things discovered on WR get corrected or used on WP. Never credited, of course, but used.
They love free work.
