Any clue who the anon is vandalizing your user page? I'll keep my eyes open for further events. Cheers. -- Samir ∙ T C 15:20, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Dear Edward,
Please do not refer to me as 'some kid', as I am a fair bit older than you. Also, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from accusing me of sending 'menacing emails', because that's not true and is simply libellous. I don't believe that I've ever actually sent you an email.

Dear Ben, I did not conclude you were the person that was vandalizing my page, nor did I conclude that you were a kid. You're just misreading my statements as assumptions of fact. You see, there is one fixed person A who performed the vandalism. In my first response to Samir, I put forward the hypothesis that your account and 82.38.207.1 were the same person based on the fact that I did receive an email from someone with address specified above (which you claim is not your own) which shares your username, and that this account name and the vandal's IP were "coincidentally" adjacent in the vandalism of the page Keyworth. Furthermore the term "childish" refers to the vandals behaviour rather than his physical age. Would you call a foaming-in-mouth drunken rugby fan who works in a mill and spends his life between the stadium and the pub an adult? I wouldn't, as I wouldn't qualify defacing someone's page, propagating slanderous claims, or anonymously emailing deliberate provocations as adult behaviour. I think it is quite clear that person A is not behaving in an adult manner. Less clear, but possible, is whether or not person A and the person emailing me are the same person. Likewise, it is not certain that you are person A. However, based on the fact you were unexplicably reading this page, and that you for some reason decided to create a user page today, were I to take inference to the best explanation to be a valid epistemological method, I'd have to say things are a bit shady when it comes to your involvement. However, unlike this person A, I am not prone to making claims without valid reasons to justify my beliefs, and will not assert that you are person A (and certainly hope that you aren't for your sake). Perhaps you could do us a favor and act along similar guidelines by not jumping to conclusions because of the formulation of hypotheses. However if it is indeed you who mailed me and committed these acts of vandalism, I'd advise you to grow up a bit and consider turning your attention towards more worthwhile pastimes.
