I could not agree more. Indeed all mention of this incident can probably 
be expunged from wikipedia in about twelve months time.

However, and this is the catch 22, if our concern is that a "poor woman 
with a sad life story" be left alone then trying to prevent a bio may be 
  completely counterproductive. As mush as I hate it, if someone in the 
community forces the issue (and I hope they don't), our only means for 
preventing such bio (and enforcing BLP1E, is either to have a wiki-drama 
and a high profile DRV or Jimmy publicly intervening. The is the real 
danger that either scenario will end up in another press run for trash 
like the Register.
