[[WP:AN]] or [[WP:RFAR]]: Send me the e-mails, and I'll try to take an objective look, from your vantage point.
Line 6:
 
: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)
 
::Let's see if I understand this correctly. After speculating [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Banning_policy&diff=118803063&oldid=118802845 here] ''It's like being libeled by Daisy Duck. I don't think the courts would accept a case labeled Kohs v. User:Durova!'' you follow up with an estimate of my personal net worth and a request that I forward e-mails to you personally. It is by no means ''paranoia'' to respectfully decline that request on the hunch that you would attempt to glean personally identifying information from the headers. The legitimate portions of both of our concerns would be adequately addressed by the arbitration committee. If you would like their assistance then by all means go to [[WP:RFAR]].
 
::I suggest again that you avoid allusions of a legal nature. I would not block you, but I may open a thread to request impartial review at [[WP:AN]]. Please be aware that this site treats legal threats as grounds for immediate indef block, which could be the result if uninvolved people decide you have crossed the line. I would rather see you in [[WP:ADOPT|mentorship]] and editing productively.
