A message from you - legal threats
You said:


 * You have repeatedly removed my topic-related, polite comments from the GW discussion page on Wikipedia. You did the same to many other Wikipedia users.


 * The fact that one uses a satellite network as an IP provider should not make one a pariah, excluded from discussion. The fact that you are a researcher in British Antarctic Survey, an organization critically interested in financing resulting from the GW scaremongering, makes you a very partial voice in any GW debate, and, therefore, unqualified to use administrative privileges on climate-related discussion pages.


 * Your bias is obvious: you are silencing your opponents by abusing your administrative privileges. Please, refrain from further unethical activity on Wikipedia discussion pages.


 * Regardless of your answer or lack of an answer, I will pursue this matter further through legal channels.


 * Thank you for your attention,

To which I answer: I've removed irrelevance, and so have others. Please try to show some discipline and discuss only matters relevant to the topic at hand. Sadly, t:GW suffers from bloat. You were a pariah because of your comments, not for being anon. Do you not understand that signing comments as though you were a different, totally unrelated user, is unacceptable?

And lastly: legal threats are sufficient to get you banned until you rescind the threats. Please do so William M. Connolley 08:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Mr. Connolley: I accept answers to my personal e-mails only at my personal e-mail account. Copying personal e-mails to open-access Internet pages is illegal in the USA and in the UK: you have broken the law. --Alexander Feht 18:56, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * That reads like a further threat to me William M. Connolley 20:09, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Mr. Feht: You may rest assured your current behavior will not last long in Wikipedia. After coming onto Talk:Global warming and pushing a non-reliable POV of a professional global-warming-skeptic "think tank", you have the temerity to make legal threats against Mr. Connolley and demand that he "refrain from further unethical activity on Wikipedia discussion pages". For what? Removing irrelevant material from the talk page? I point out that Connolley is well within his range of discretion as a WP admin. I've seen him act equally w.r.t. both sides of the NPOV coin, seeking to write Wikipedia articles in keeping with Wikipedia contant policies of WP:NPOV, WP:V and WP:NOR, as well as WP:RS and WP:NPOV. The statement you made, "Regardless of your answer or lack of an answer, I will pursue this matter further through legal channels", to any reasonable person who reads it, is offensive and obviously threatening, and clearly was intended to be threatening. And, incidentally, you misrepresent the law w.r.t. emails. Obviously you sent it to him, he received it, and it's fair game for Mr. Connolley to post anywhere he wishes. He's under no obligation to suffer your threats privately. You, however, are under an obligation to immediately desist from making such threats. This assumes, of course, that a decision has not already been made within the community of Wikipedia administrators about any applicable administrative sanctions which may be brought to bear in response to this incident. ...

 * I've blocked you indefinitely until the legal threats are withdrawn. JoshuaZ 23:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * IOW, Wikipedia does not negotiate with terrorists. Odd nature 23:31, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Nobody, under any circumstances, can quote a private e-mail in public without sender's prior permission. Mr. Connolley's employer (BAS) shall be notified. Everything else above by "Kenosis" is just a personal opinion used to justify a common "beehive-style" thought control. --Alexander Feht 00:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've blocked the IP address used. I have no opinion about the legality of anything that anyone has done. However, per WP:LEGAL you will remain blocked as long as you are pursuing any form of legal action. Continued attempted evasion of your block may result in additional blocks even after legal issues have been settled. JoshuaZ 01:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * To an anonymous individual calling himself "JoshuaZ": 1) Mr. Connolley disclosed the content of a private e-mail without permission and in violation of the law. Therefore, this content cannot serve as a basis of any action even according to your "good-old-boys" Wikipedia rules. 2) You may huff and puff, sir, as much as you wish, within the delusional framework of a role-playing game that has become, apparently, your surrogate life. I live in the real world, and couldn't care less. -- Alexander Feht


 * Again, I don't know if you are reading this page at all, but your comments will be repeatedly removed as long as you attempt to evade your block. If you are engaging in legal proceedings you will remain blocked until those proceedings have been completed. This has nothing to do with whether or not you have a plausible legal claim. If you have any further questions or concerns feel free to email me. JoshuaZ 21:41, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your signiture at Global Warming talk page
Re:this edit. It's not nit-picking. By inserting your name that way, your words were being attributed/assigned to a different user. Putting "Alexander" between the brackets sends everyone, who clicks on the name following your comments, directly to his page (try it, User:Alexander). Surely you can see how that is, at the very least misleading, and if done intentionally (at this point, I'm guessing that is not the case) extremely dishonest. R. Baley 08:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for an explanation. Still, I think that this matter is utterly unimportant, and that some lucky people have entirely too much free time on their hands. --Alexander Feht 18:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
