[Foundation-l] Accuracy required

Let's see if perfect practice makes perfect.

The quoted tag line, "The only Wikipedian that has been dealt with by 
an arbcom by his real name, NOT his user name!" has been questioned 
has "extremely inaccurate."

It was used right below a name and user name: "Virgilio A. P. Machado 
(Vapamachado)"

Since the arbcom wiki was omitted, it was assumed that it would be 
understood that it referred to the user's "home wiki."

What exactly is "extremely inaccurate" in the quoted text?

If no clear explanation is provided by the author of that 
qualification, he or she should be kind enough to withdraw the 
comment and apologize.

"for what it's worth" is an expression conveying bonhomie, helpful, 
friendly, or is it a put down, sneer, scornful, snooty comment, more 
akin to what is usually called here a "personal attack"?

Sincerely,

Virgilio A. P. Machado
The one with only this tag line
