:::Given that you published accusations about Tim Usher (which may or may not be valid), you are now obliged to defend your claims in public. It is not uncommon for people from the Wikisphere to throw accusations around. In my role as a scientist, I ask people to support their assertions with evidence, reasoning, and analysis, in accord with the protocols of the scientific method.

I appreciate that you made a public inquiry. Given that the whole issue here is personal privacy please appreciate the fact that I do not wish to engage in a public discussion. Respecting that means not posting private correspondence without permission.

:::It's too late for you to avoid the role you adopted, as both a recipient of a public accusation and as a publisher of an accusation.
