Unless a matter is private, I prefer to be contacted via my talk page, as this gives better transparency.
I am not willing to consider block appeals via email. If you wish to contest a block, please use your talk page; if you can not edit your talk page, use the unblock ticket request system.
If extra security is needed, please encrypt your email using my PGP public key, which you can find here.
I will try to keep any sensitive information you share with me confidential to the fullest extent possible. I do however reserve the right to forward or publish your email, in full or in part, at my sole discretion.
Sometimes, I may not want to have a conversation via email. In those cases, I may instead respond on your talk page if I believe that the matter can be handled in a public venue.
