I apologize for the outing, but it has been spammed on many reddit threads. Skeptic from Britain (talk) 02:01, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I see that. It looks like the pages have already been marked with {{Not a ballot}}, and mentioning that they've been linked to on Reddit is fine if you're trying to warn the discussion closers about SPA votes. You just can't accuse a Wikipedian of being responsible for those posts unless they've disclosed it themselves on-wiki. GorillaWarfare (talk) 02:03, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

@GorillaWarfare: No, this is not fine, he is linking to a personal reddit account, as a personal attack on me. The links to the reddit user need to be removed. ~ Mellis (talk) 04:28, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

User:Skeptic from Britain is doing exactly what @WhatamIdoing: told him not to do, "This is not okay. Please don't accuse people of only being here to peddle views about a diet, especially when you're talking to a new editor who's only made a few dozen edits. It's not WP:CIVIL, and it doesn't help new people learn what they need to know. That kind of aggressive comment is discouraging to every editor, and potential editor, who reads it. I know you can do better than that. Please make a habit to always Misplaced Pages:Comment on content, not on the contributor. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:09, 14 December 2018 (UTC)" He is attacking my credibility and exposing my personal identity, I feel very hurt and harmed by his actions, and he keeps clearing this talk page to hide all of his wrongdoing. I want his comments about me and my identity removed. ~ Mellis (talk) 04:37, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
