Am I the only person to whom John Abraham, i.e. naim027 has sent a PM regarding feedback?
No, I got a PM from him earlier today and in it he mentioned that he was going to contact you. I imagine the message he sent me is similar to what you received, though what I got was a long-winded explanation as to why he and naim027 aren't alt accounts.
There's enough evidence in this thread that points to the two accounts being controlled by the same person--at least enough for me to feel comfortable tagging the John Abraham one. The moderators might feel differently or require a higher standard of proof, but there's always been that disconnect between them and DT members.
By the way, I don't want people presenting their arguments for removing a tag being delivered via PM. Everything should be out in the open so that the community can weigh in--at least that's the way I see it. So John Abraham, if you want to share additional info please do it here. Nobody's forcing you to, but I'm requesting that you do.
Well, I also received a PM from the John Abraham account. It seems those that left negative trust on his account received the PM.
I also think working behind the scenes via PM to provide information or present arguments is not best practice if the objective is to try to have feedback/trust either removed or revised. When presenting a case if everything is out in the open for all to see there can be no doubt about what is going on when questions and answers are put forward. In these types of matters the community should (as you said) be able to weight in.
I will not reply to the PM but also will state that if the John Abraham account has anything to add then he should post it here for all to read.
