Too clever by half.
A weakness of mine, I will admit. I cut from my original post a
*speculation* that the Wikipedia higher-ups have concluded that they're
going to get a "section 230" testing lawsuit someday, and better it be
Brandt as a plaintiff for the first case, than someone like Seigenthaler.
Negotiation in good faith must seem very simple.
That was pre-emptive point #1:
1) Does Jimbo want Brandt to sue?
No, of course not - "joy shall be in heaven over one sinner
that repenteth ...". Nothing would make him (Jimbo) happier here
than for Brandt to see the glorious light of the Wikipedia-way and
join in free labor harmony for the greaterment of all Wikiality. But
it's not going to happen, and that's bloody obvious.
