Here's a funny thing. You seem to want people to use their own names on the site, and
resent KQ's using a pseudonym, while I, who have never used a pseudonym here and even,
when asked, provided my credentials, have been: 1) accused of perhaps not being who I say
I am and perhaps even of falsely stating my credentials, and; 2) told that, if I am upset
that my name is connected with articles I don't find reflect my professional
standards, I should perhaps use a pseudonym.
It's a funny ol'world, ain't it?
As for the rest, I'm not that interested in defending myself against silly statements.
Make all you want: it only helps to add to the compendium of knowledge that helps us all
consider our sources more wisely.

Hi Julie,
It's very clear that you're a woman. Men would feel very uncomfortable
displaying so much insecurity. As regards what happened on Wikipedia:
You can't blame me for that, because I didn't do it. You could try to
blame men in general and I'm giggling in advance. (I don't mind
showing male weakness...) Anyway, if I were a tyrant running Wikipedia
and you would have asked me to intervene in your problem I would
probably have solved the question without anyone being able to
complain afterwards...
But luckily Wikipedia is not run by a tyrant...
Greetings,
Jaap
