Actually I think the depiction of Brandt as "a complete nutter" is more a symptom of someone who gets too much of their information from Wikipedia (and Wikipedia-related resources like this mailing list).
I'd actually describe it as a symptom of someone of whom Brandt said "If I know anything about how grad school works, it wouldn't take much to put him in a position where he either decides to leave Wikipedia or decides that he doesn't need a Ph.D. after all" shortly before an unknown person called the local police in Gainesville in an active and deliberate attempt to get me harassed by them.
I can understand how you'd confuse the two, though.
I fail to see how that story, even if it's true, implies that he's "a complete nutter". Jerk, maybe, but not nuts.
