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 didnt try very hard to help Mr Seigenthaler I tried a little bit harder than you And now you slam me for violating this poor fellows privacy Mr Wales you owe me an apology
