"This is a distortion. I agree that a separate article on Mr. Chase was not justified; I said so in the press last December. But while I played a role in identifying Mr. Chase, it was the New York Times and John Seigenthaler, Sr. who had more influence than I when it came to getting his name into print. And as I recall, Mr. Seigenthaler had a ""private word"" with you about how he might identify the vandal, and you gave him a song and dance about how Wikipedia is helpless (and by implication, blameless) in these matters. You didn't try very hard to help Mr. Seigenthaler. I tried a little bit harder than you. And now you slam me for violating this ""poor fellow's"" privacy. Mr. Wales, you owe me an apology.
