MakingLights is a famous blog, run by a famous person. People on that site's forum got into a flamewar of some sort with somebody. Some very-not-nice things were said, and apparently some personal information was posted. (Ostensibly the person's real name could be found just by typing his username into google, but I haven't confirmed that).
Unfortunately for MakingLights, the person who was flamed turned out to be a Wikipedia administrator. He came to Wikipedia, declared Making Lights an "attack site", and in less than two hours, he went to 23 different pages and deleted all the links to Making Lights and its affiliated sites.
Hmmm, I was "Ron Ritzman" on Usenet. I'm "Ron Ritzman" here. and I'm "Ron Ritzman" in real life. I, like 99.9% of people posting to newsgroups, have been flamed. Can I now declare "Google Groups" an "Attack Site" and delete all references to it anywhere I find them in WP?
