Hiya: Good catch on those pebble "meteorites", I added comment to each one I found. If I have omitted any, please let me know. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:22, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Gratuitous Smear

I would like for you to provide evidence to ArbCom to justify your gratuitous claim that I was socking on en.wp. Since you do not have an account on meta, I could not ping you there. I'm doing so here, though I note you did not extend me the same courtesy. I do not know you so I'm not sure why you seem to think it's appropriate to attack my reputation without the slightest bit of evidence. SashiRolls (talk) 18:54, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

That wasn't you? Geogene (talk) 18:56, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Absolutely not. SashiRolls (talk) 18:57, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

I disagree that that was a "gratuitous smear", because that IP was grinding an unusual and very particular axe, and it wasn't hard to find out who else had been grinding the same one a short time earlier. The writing styles look similar to me too. Joe jobs happen, but if you don't want to get caught up in the pointless violence that Wikipedia reeks of, you could do a better job of not contributing to it yourself, on and off wiki. I think that this especially applies to not "gratuitously attacking....reputation without the slightest bit of evidence" Who took the first swing? Geogene (talk) 19:57, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

What is requested is evidence. Saying that I have shown interest in the EEML group off-wiki (which is true) does not by any stretch of the imagination uniquely identify me, since anyone interested in the history of cabals on Wikipedia has googled "Wikipediametric cabal". Nor does it in any way justify your accusation. What is needed is the evidence that led you to make your accusation, vague assumptions "of bad faith" don't cut it. I could provide links to a dozen recent mentions of EEML without difficulty (except that that would not be tolerated "on" wiki, so I won't. Regarding Cirt (if this is about Cirt) ArbCom has had the evidence since July 2017. Maybe it's time to move on to the NYT, now that you've decided to join in with more groundless claims. SashiRolls (talk) 20:12, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

The first step when caught red-handed casting aspersions without evidence is to apologize. Feel free to do that here, I'll stay off your talk page until you do:

No, as I said, I have evidence. You dispute that evidence, which is fine. I didn't know anyone but you was spreading that stuff off wiki, but now that you've admitted to that, it's funny that you've taken this opportunity demand an apology for someone "casting aspersions" about you.
