Hi Fred,
Unfortunately, I have obligations under the law as a litigant to enforce the Courts orders since the Court retained jurisdiction. At present, internet stalkers from SCOX have posted the terms of a sealed document to this site. The best solution is total removal of the page about me, or a minumum, rollback to the approved content Wales and I agreed to and permanent locking of the page. Anything else is going to result in these people coming back to the site, posting the content again, and an edit war ensuing. I won;t stand by and be libled or used as a whipping boy for Linux propaganda. I will sign written agreement, provided the page is locked with approved content or removed entirely. As it stands I just had Wales served with an order and I notifed Judge Kimball the content is on this site, I have no other choice, I have an obligation to enforce this order. The way to remove this obligation from me relative to this site is to remove the page or better even still, lock it to prevent these folks from posting sealed materials in the future. As it stands, I would expect the Federal Court will serve a Praecipe from the Sheriff on Wales and have it taken down in any event, whether anyone here agrees or not. I wanted to avoid all that, so I tried as best I could to provide sound advice on how to sidestep this problem. I wish the folks on the site had listened. As you have as an attorney, so have I lived in a constant cloud of litigation for the past ten years. I really would like for that to change.
Sincerely,
Jeff V. Merkey

Hopefully you and Jimmy Wales and the Wikimedia Foundation can come to an agreement; please continue negotiations. That said, it is a difficult situation when you become involved in the editing of your own article, as what can be used is not your own view of yourself or others but what has been published in a reliable source. A synopsis of what has been published can be a very strange, fractured. transmogrified mishmash with little relationship to how you see yourself.
