Hi Tony,
I should have informed you of the post, and I apologize for not doing so. But on the rest, I disagree. I think my post was more even-handed than your News and notes bit. I didn't speak to you first or afford you the opportunity to respond, but I didn't quote you misleadingly. You haven't complained that I manipulated your quotes, or illustrated my post about you in such a way that readers would draw a false impression. It was hardly a smear - I said publishing the comment was a disappointing ethical lapse. The rest of it was, as you say, just the facts.
Frankly, it's not bullying to criticize the standard of journalism evident in your article. As a writer for a publication, you should be willing to accept such criticism as a valuable part of the process. It's worth noting the absence of your defenders on this piece. Even those who agree with you that such content on Wikivoyage is unsavory (as I do) aren't arguing that the piece was written to high standards.
When you frame "just the facts" with polemic, fail to disclose a relevant history, use misleading illustrations and include quotes such that their sources complain of manipulation, you've done something wrong. It's off-putting, below what we'd like to see from the Signpost, and it certainly doesn't help Wikivoyage if your call to action simultaneously alienates people on both sides of the debate.
