Mr. Kohs, I like to be the first to step forward and apologize when I've actually made a mistake. I don't believe I've been mistaken here, but since you've chosen to renew your grievance I urge you to do so in a forum where the grievance could be resolved. Perhaps other parties would view the matter differently. Wikipedians do their best to be fair and sometimes administrators make mistakes. Regular procedure is better than innuendo. I have already offered to disclose the relevant e-mails I exchanged with journalist Brian Bergstein, should that be necessary.
If you do not choose one of those venues then please drop the matter. Your repeated description of my words as ''defamatory'' treads on the margins of a legal threat and your ban was lifted with a caution about editing productively. I am pleased by the quality of your recent article edits. Let's take this through regular channels or treat it as water under the bridge. Respectfully, <font face="Verdana">[[User:Durova|<span style="color:#009">Durova</span>]]</font><sup>''[[User talk:Durova|Charge!]]''</sup> 16:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
:Durova, could you please send me the e-mails that you sent to Mr. Bergstein? I don't need or care to see his responses, as I've had a discussion with him already about his take on your claims. I would just be curious to see what you thought constitutes "proof" that I gave him misleading information. Also, you can stop any level of concern or paranoia that I am threatening a legal action. I'm too busy running a business to waste time bringing a charge against someone who (let's assume?) has no more than $100,000 in net assets. The word '''defamatory''' merely means ''harmful and often untrue; tending to discredit or malign''. It is not exclusively a legal term. I think the responsible thing to do would be for you to retract your statement. It would take you about 2 minutes. But, let me see your e-mail(s), and maybe I'll change my tune and agree with you! Fact: I've been misleading before, multiple times in my life. I maintain, however, that I never gave misleading information to Brian Bergstein, so that's where we differ. (Funny that we're even talking about "misleading information to journalists" in the shadow of the Essjay fiasco, don't you think?) Thank you for praising my [[Czech Air Force]] and [[Liz Cohen]] edits. I, too, respect and commend almost all of your contributions to Wikipedia! Heck, only one of them is sticking in my craw. ;-) I'll look forward to your e-mail. --[[User:Zibiki Wym|Zibiki Wym]] 16:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
