If I knew nothing about SV and her Wikipedia history, I would at least
expect my n00b question of "SV, what's this on /. about you supposedly being
some sort of spy?" or my n00b statement of fact like "SV, there's this silly
thing on /. about you being a secret agent" to be responded to civilly, with
at least a brief explanation, rather than having them being removed from the
talk page without a trace, and people going around asking for revisions with
my question to be oversighted.
