In this political season for Wikimedia some very odd conversations are taking place in back channels. One of these threads has come back to me from a couple of different directions. I intensely dislike whisper campaigns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisper_campaign, so I'd like to set the record straight in public once again.
I stopped my volunteering on the en.wp project in fall 2004 due to a strong disagreement with an ArbCom decision. It was not in any way related to Mr Danny Wool, about whom I was only peripherally aware at the time. I work with Mr Wool on a daily basis, and we get along extremely well professionally.
If you have any other information you'd like to have verified, Mr Möller, you can reach me at this e-mail address, by phone (+1 778.386.1059), or I am often available on IRC. But please verify things before sharing them; I don't have time for politics.

To those wondering what this about-
A couple of days ago I had a phone conversation with Danny Wool, in which he pointed out that he's been working very well with Wayne (the context is not important). I was somewhat surprised by that, because I had a recollection that Wayne had largely stopped participating in en.wikipedia.org in part because of disagreements with Danny. I pointed this out to Danny, who strongly disagreed and said that there was no such incident. I responded that I may have misremembered. This is the entire extent of the relevant parts of the conversation.
I don't have access to my logs right now to verify my recollection of what Wayne had said (it was a long time ago), but it seems most likely that I did indeed misremember, in which case I apologize for any misunderstanding. Wayne, I assure you that I have not stated this impression to anyone besides Danny in a single private conversation.

I must confess to an extreme level of curiosity; what, pray tell, was the context that you would be talking with Danny about our work relationship? After all, the board does not directly oversee Danny, and I'm merely a volunteer. So I would love to know the context of this conversation?

Taking this off-list..
Please keep this stuff private - you want to take a private conversation public - nobody is really interersted in private issues here - this is the public foundation list.
Or are you trying to play games?
Thank you!

No, seriously, I would love to know the answer to this. Why were you calling Danny about our professional relationship?

May I diagree here. I've never met either of the gentlemen concerned but, given that the initial statements were made on this list then it is only right and proper that any determination of the facts and conclusions is also disclosed here in order that nobody is able to make an accusation without having to back it up.
