Then Jay, you should have no objection to sending some sort of proof of this, such as proof of employment, to a Wikipedia staffer?

It's not that we don't believe you but since there IS an Israeli- government paid and co-ordinated campaign to push a pro-Israel agenda on Wikipedia it would be a sensible security precaution to do a background check on Wikipedia's most prominent pro-Israel editor. Don't you think?
Lest anyone think we don't moderate this list, "Hello all" is now set to nopost.
