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.
