[WikiEN-l] Re: Fred's supposed nasty comment from JTDirl

For the record: 1. I left no nasty comment on Fred's page. When checking out how wiki list references show up on google, I came upon on rather nasty link that exists regarded Fred Bauder. I left a message on his page telling him of the link because I thought as a colleague that he should know it existed. I told him that though we had disagreements I thought that particular link was wrong and unfair to him. I suggested that if we blocked list pages from google searches, that link might disappear. It was something that I had written on the list about, and I thought then and believe now that that unfair link to Fred's name highlighted the dangers of direct links to the list. I made other suggestions as to how we could avoid anyone else being wronged in the way Fred was being in that google search. Finally I suggested that, in case a new link connected to that message from me on his wiki page and so gave another source to the reference to 'Fred Bauder and academic dishonesty', he should feel free to delete my message. How is that nasty? 2. My name is FearÉireann, which meaning in gaelic ''Man of Ireland'', the gaelic version of my previous english language usernic, ÉIREman. I thought it fitting to use my national language in my usernic. 3. Lol was intended to mean, as it does and is used by many wiki users, 'Lots of love', ie, an expression of goodwill. I fail to see where Fred's paranoia about my message came from. All I did was tell a colleague that I had come across an unfair google link to them and made it clear just how unfair I thought it was, as well as making a suggestion about how that link could be broken. I cannot understand how an act of professional courtesy and concern for the reputation of a colleague could be seen as a 'nasty comment'.
