Record of me getting my fingers burnt due to my edits text copied from Hi Alterego I happened to read Angela s blog here where my name was mentioned I wish to clarify my point to you I never accepted Zen master s conspiracy theory argument I was only asking him proof by way of valid references Please have a look at my edits here Talk Google NSA 2B Abu Ghraib censorship Also I ve made detailed clarifications in your blog I ve nothing against you or Google It appears that you ve mistakenly thought I m in favour of the conspiracy theory argument I ve also clarified here Please take some time to go through all my clarifications and revise your blog accordingly The mention of my name there along with all the arguments about the NSA theory makes acasual reader believe that I made the argument which I did not I make it clear that I don t buy the NSA conspiracy theory argument at all and my comments in that discussion pertain to other sections of the article like Google uses only Linux Financing and IPO etc Please update your blog indicating that I was never inserting POV into wikipedia as otherwise such an inaccurate fact will harm my reputation Also please change the title of your blog because Yahoo has nothing to do with all these Zen master is not working here and I didn t insert the section Please make all these clear Thanks Alterego for your timely correction on your blog Hi Alterego Had some thoughts on the recent unfortunate imbroglio that we were in Though the talk pages are technically under GFDL I feel such issues ought to have been resolved within our talk pages itself The problem with blogs is that the blogs don t have complete context read and spinned off by many others mirrored by many blog aggregators that do not simultaneously change when the blog gets revised and more importantly are indexed by search engines The current issue anyway was a result of a misunderstanding which could ve been resolved very easily had we sought gave clarifications In any case it has left an indelible mark unpleasant in me It was definitely a damage to my online and to some extent offline reputation I don t blame any individual for this because I should ve also been more careful and clear I don t personally draw a dividing line between here and there If it s online anyone can read about it Both my blog and the Google article s talk page are indexed by Yahoo Google and MSN etc s spiders The information responds equally well to a search query in either place no My blog is a place for me to vent ponder and reflect and considering the ludicrous nature of the claims made I did just that I also believe in diffusion by detonation in cases where that seems appropriate AFIK there are some pages in Wikipedia probably User talk that are off the limit spiders but I was wrong about article discussion pages But the information doesn t respond equally well to a search query in both the places due to the complexities of ranking There will be fewer inlinks to a discussion page from external domains as opposed to blogs The audience for the talk pages might have better contextual information than blog readers who might ve arrived more randomly than in the talk pages Usually people end up in talk pages either after reading an article or something similiar not usually from external domains directly I agree that those claims were ludicruous but they weren t mine But I had to undergo a lot of agony right If any you could ve posted my critical statements but would ve definitely not attributed somebody else s edits to me if I d clarified before right Also I wasn t aware of the post until a friend pointed it out to me If he hadn t I wouldn t have been able to clarify I take your point that I can t do NPOV edits to the article but in many cases competing POV factual edits by people amenable to reason will aid NPOV Any way let s try to forget this issue Fair enough
