If I propose that somebody shoot someone I don't like, and that person gets killed immediately afterward, am I an innocent bystander? (Note to people who don't understand similes: I'm not saying deleting a Wikipedia page is similar in gravity to shooting someone. The similarity here is that you are responsible for your ideas.)

If you're trying to tell me the page would have been deleted even if Chris hadn't proposed it, I suppose I can't disprove that version of history, but I can say that it's pretty bizarre.

(Edited because joke was unclear.)

Chris has an HN account. It's under his name, and he's posted in this thread. I am not he.

Apologies. It was meant to be a joke, but I suppose it didn't work very well. I just meant that that version of history seems unrealistic and I can't see anything to support it.

No worries. I figured you might be joking, but it was kind of ambiguous.
