Were you the individual who contacted DerHexer regarding oversight of comments made by Giano on WP:ANI? Hipocrite (talk) 14:29, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I wasn't. I wasn't even aware that any revision suppression had taken place until several minutes after it had already been undone.  &mdash; Coren (talk) 14:34, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Discussion of Everyking's question
I don't see how someone could not view it as branding me a stalker or harasser. The allegation, as you'll recall, is that I called the police (or place of employment? there are several different versions of the tale) of a certain user in an effort to cause him trouble based on violent content he'd written online. Clearly if I'd done such a thing, that would be a form of harassment, and arguably it would be a form of stalking. Although the allegation is false and there isn't a shred of evidence for it, the ArbCom effectively endorses it by upholding that restriction. It's as if a court wrongfully convicted someone of theft, and when he appeals the verdict, he's told that the court isn't calling him a thief&mdash;although his jail sentence will remain.
