→Control of libelous commentary
Tim, I realize your burning desire to attach real names to pseudonymous screen names, and it's a pursuit that I can endorse, but if you are going to do so on MyWikiBiz, you have to do so without unsubstantiated epithets that cannot be interpreted as anything but defamatory. -- [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 18:37, 26 October 2008 (PDT)

:Understood. In fact, I agree with your decision. I didn't print anything libelous, as it happens…but, on its face, neither you nor readers have any way of knowing that, unless you happen to know the Wikipedia history of [User:[pseudonym redacted]. What's needed here is a broader presentation of the way in which this individual has distorted, and continues to distort, Wikipedia's coverage of Israel-related issues in pursuit of a real-world activist agenda. If all the facts are presented, no judgmental qualifiers, however warranted, will be needed: readers will supply them for themselves. I also accept that MyWikiBiz isn't the proper venue for this kind of critical coverage; in my frustration with the partisan censorship on the Review, I have misused my account here, and will cease doing so. Thanks for your guidance in this matter.[[User:Proabivouac|Proabivouac]] 19:01, 26 October 2008 (PDT)
