Wow. Okay. what do you call the massive discussion, then?
Seriously, Jeff, can you look at the conflicting opinions being
expressed by Wikipedians who hold one another in mutual regard, and
proclaim a consensus on this issue?
Very few people have posted here or on Wikipedia in support of the
unblock. There seems to be an overwhelming consensus against it --
including Brandt himself!
What I support is not unblocking, but negotiating with him, regarding all issues,
including his outing activities. Unblocking, note he has not edited, is only a means to
that end. Listening respectfully to his issues regarding his article may be productive
regarding all the issues which surround such biographies.
