Should we start a betting pool on how long it stays up and who closes/deletes it?

Let's talk about "blackmail" for a second, since it is mentioned in that ANI thread. Here is the "blackmail threat" posted on Fæ's Commons talk page during their RfA:

If the pictures are not of you...
Then sending them (there are always copies) to your civil partner should be no big deal. Yes/no? 98SA447 (talk) 07:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

I don't know who this was (it wasn't me). Note that there is no mention of the RfA (which was sinking like a concrete warship by this point anyway). Note also that it is not even in the traditional form of unless you do x, I will do y. There isn't even any implied action that Fæ might take to avoid this. A threat, certainly, but is it blackmail or simply trolling?

It seems someone just posted something similar to the above on ANI.

It is true though, and there seems to be a pattern forming. Whenever Fae/Ash find things are going against them then out come the claims of harassment/blackmail. Either he's the unluckiest queen on the planet or it's a little to good to be true.
