Please keep in mind the plausible scenario that one or more people
contacted T & S, and asserted that editor X is extremely distressed about
harassment arriving from on wiki edits. Fram can be literally telling the
truth when they say that they are unaware of any off wiki commincations,

I have seen a couple comments on copyright issues in the last couple days
so I thought I'd share some information that I think may be not well-known
