Alec, how can people show you e-mails they say don't exist to begin with?
I'm sorry, but to mo knowlege, nobody has actually seriously said such conversations don't exist. Durova has said multiple times that there were in-depth discussions and enthusiastic support. If Durova swore to me on her honor that she made it all up and there were no such discussions, I'd be inclined to believe her. (although I'd also be inclined to call for her indef block if that were the case)
