[WikiEN-l] What exactly is Durova saying here?

[Jonas Rand]

Let me clarify some things:

Saboto215 is a sockpuppet account. It is my sockpuppet. Ryan Postlethwaite 
found it. Durova is correct.

I am not a meatpuppet of JB196. I know JB196's name from memory. For me to 
be a meatpuppet of JB196 would require me to have communicated with him at 
some point. I haven't, and have no intention of doing so. Durova thinks I'm 
involved, but she hasn't said how. She may have been trying to imply that I 
was a meatpuppet of JB196. She can choose to believe the truth, or not. She 
seems to have chosen the latter.

I have also never communicated with Burntsauce or Eyrian, and I don't 
remember ever talking to Alkivar either. I had not even heard of Burntsauce 
or Eyrian before the cases, but Alkivar was quite active and I have seen him 
comment on various issues. I do not know who any of these people are, and 
have no intention of finding out.

What Durova is not telling is that after she said she was "signing off the 
list", I sent an e-mail to the never-read gmail address nadezhda.durova AT 
gmail.com. The e-mail is copied below.

Hello Durova,

I didn't realize that the name was removed by now. It must have been some 
time since I read the page, as I last remember seeing the name there. I 
remembered the name, and I didn't think it was a secret (as he made an edit 
saying he was Jonathan Barber), but Alison removed in in 2007. I remembered 
that name and then did some searching on him not long ago. I know Grawp's 
name as well; that does not mean that I have ever communicated with Grawp
(indeed I have not). I don't know how these things stick in my memory, 
though.

Yes, it is a mere coincidence that the date aligned with the arbitration 
cases and the Eyrian thing. I have nothing to do with JB196. I know, if I 
were so inclined, how I would go about contacting him (based on the search 
that I did), but I don't remember the address and I would have to do the
search again. I have never e-mailed JB196,  or contacted him via other means 
(such as a forum). You should ask him if he's ever communicated with a Jonas 
Rand.

The circumstance that I "didn't want to discuss" was that I wanted to make 
the hoax more elaborate, setting up a blog network referencing "Nikita 
Molotov" and advertizing the promotion. I reconsidered and thought that was 
too much work, so I decided not to do it. That's it.
