Charle*s* Podle*s*. Please. And now that you've outed me by using my real name, you must be banned immediately!!!eleven!!! :)
I did *not* make my name public. EntmootsOfTrolls
did <snip>
So what about these messages, sent to a public mailing list by "Robert K*****" and signed as "RK"?

I suppose EntmootsOfTrolls hijacked your account and sent those e-mails. He's a tricksy one, he is.

I still don't see how using a name you revealed in a public forum is in any way a "threat" or "outing". Perhaps you can explain?
No. Its morally wrong when it happens to anyone. It is also a violation of every norm of Wikipedia etiquette, which this list seems to have suddenly forgotten about. It is also probably illegal.
Using names which people themselves revealed is a violation of every norm of Wikipedia etiquette?
So I suppose I should stop addressing every Wikipedian who uses their real name by that selfsame real name, lest I be banned, eh.
As to the legality of using a name someone revealed of his own free will---I'm not a lawyer, so I won't comment on that.
