Question, may I ask why you've decided to register an account simply to discuss the Essjay matter? To be blunt, that doesn't seem like the sort of thing a new user would be immediately attracted to. JoshuaZ 06:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Nope. But considering stalkers like Brandt, I think you can see why protecting my identity is a smart thing to do. I have every right to hide behind an anonymous username in self defense. There is no conflict of interest or violation of WP:SOCK, since my usual account hasn't edited that page at all. Chipclip 09:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, it's cool that you want to stick up for Essjay, but don't hurt the cause by attacking anyone who doesn't feel exactly how you do. If you be a dick about something then people will just start to look at you being a dick rather than the important message you are trying to get across. -- Ned Scott 09:18, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- It wasn't an attack. It was a statement of truth. Jimbo already commented, as evidence by the quote in the NewYorker. People just aren't satisfied with the answer. Chipclip 09:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
