thanks for your note jusdafax as i have mentioned here and elsewhere petrarchan has been engaging in this behavior going on the talk pages of users he she believes are sympathetic and making these kinds of unfounded accusations against me and other editors for quite some time and i have had it with being bad mouthed that is one issue the other one is the more garden variety of canvassing about specific article content i am not even editing or watching the mam article as i already was fed up with viriditas' behavior there in any case informing these users that their behavior is outside guidelines is not intimidation it is fair warning the next time the behavior happens if it happens again i am indeed going to start an ani i really have had it there are appropriate ways to deal with perceived coi and going around on user talk pages and article talk pages and making these accusations is not among those ways i tell you i feel persecuted that matters too paid editing is an issue but that doesn't mean that everyone who disagrees with you is a paid editor i could start and i am not going around and writing everywhere that p is an employee or paid pr person for greenpeace right he she must be because of the positions that p takes in these articles about environmental issues but i am not going there and neither should p otherwise it is wild mccarthyism slapping people who disagree with you with a label so you can dismiss them just the facts indeed no more of this personal attack based on speculation
