Somebody working on this article published information that allowed users in a forum to identify my IP Address.

They did so because I was supporting a subject on the Wiki Page.

Please supply with their name and who I cam contact at Wiki about this disgraceful attempt at cyber-bullying

They have also left comments in the Guardian news section which were defamatory and attempted to show one of the subjects of the article committing a crime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.243.171.14 (talk) 17:41, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Intimidation
Children's author and illustrator Debi Gliori has recently been subjected to a sustained and vicious internet campaign, as reported in the national press (see the Controversy section).

appeared as "ThingWithFeathers" at The Guardian news site and contibuted numerous comments to the article about the conflict, taking sides against Ms. Gliori. A number of his posts were removed as they did not meet the community's standards. He accused Ms. Gliori of defamation and cyberbullying.

The user then appeared as "NakedTruth" at an on-line writers' forum which was discussing the copyright issues of the case. Today, he was "banned for trolling". He accused Ms. Gliori of defamation and cyberbullying.

Now he appears at Ms. Gliori's Wikipedia biography and my talk page, with accusations of defamation and cyberbullying.

I find this behaviour intimidating.  Esowteric + Talk  18:41, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

The user took this issue to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. See the thread they started, entitled "Editor of story is cyber-bullying me, I believe the author's fans are using the wiki for cyberabuse against an involved party".  Esowteric + Talk  14:01, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

I am wondering what I am bothering with Wiki dispute resolution when you by your continued tweets and comments are attempting to incite others with violence against me, I do not know you, I do not know any of the involved parties, I have only ever stated my opinions and you are behaving like a madman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.243.171.14 (talk) 22:25, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Debi Gliori: Can we let this matter settle down, please?
The "involved party", artist Angus Stewart, recognizing the damage that this has done, has recently issued a heartfelt plea for the issue to settle down. Many people, including Debi Gliori are thankful and grateful for this manly approach:

He writes on his Facebook page for "Tobermory Cat":

"[Tobermory Cat] May we close this thread please. I would rather like things to settled down. It seems my idea to follow the process of creating a celebrity cat turns out to be an extremely dangerous and damaging idea. It has caused a great deal of hurt and I want no more of it. My understanding of what is and what is not acceptable is misguided. It has been extremely hurtful to Debi and she does not deserve it. I met her once and she does not deserve to be hurt by my work. I don’t like that. I am guilty of following an idea too far - the fog came down and I forgot about where I wanted to go. The good thing is Debi's book came out and its a good book and will give more pleasure to more people than this page will do if this is the way its going. Good things can come from difficult beginnings and truly hope that is the case for Debi’s book. I need a bit of time to think about this so if possible could everyone take a bit of a deep breath. Time to think about good stuff not bad. I would really appreciate that. Sunday [3 November 2012] at 12:20am · Edited · Unlike · 4"

Please can we allow this issue to settle down?  Esowteric + Talk  09:35, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Yes, but you keep tweeting that the "action" has moved here and are attempting to get the journalists who covered the story to believe that you are being cyber-bullied by claiming you now know how she must have felt. I never met any of the players involved before the Guardian story, I only voice my opinion on the matter, and for this you attempted to portray me as a "meat puppet" and then cyber-bully. You have consistently announced that you are acting in the capacity of a Wiki editor, and it is here I have come to ask that you desist. As unbiased editor of this story you should be seeking to accurately report it, not marshal the army of fans of Debi Gliori and get more journalists to write about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.243.171.14 (talk) 10:32, 6 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I wholeheartedly apologize for any distress or harm that I have caused you, and I will learn from this lesson. However, I do not agree with you that it is "Debi Gliori and her army of fans who include J.K. Rowling" who have defamed and cyberbullied either the artist, Angus Stewart or you. An interesting question was raised at the second AN/I, about whether the controversy section should be included at all. There's a link there to start a discussion about this. Perhaps a viable exit strategy / a way out of this mess? Regards, Eric:  Esowteric + Talk  10:36, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
