Me, as I said. He asked if Wikipedia could be sued. I said that as a US organisation it wasn't affected by UK injunctions, though UK based editors were, but that we didn't put stuff in if it wasn't really well referenced anyway.
As I said, he picked a few sentences out of half an hour's careful explanation. Possibly I should have just told him to bugger off, but that doesn't generally work out well except when they're well known to be an arsehole.
