(And if you say it's in part because of the chaos it has caused, that
confirms that we're simply digging our heels in, which is
understandable but irrational.)
Principles aside, we simply have no reason to believe that Brandt
would actually stop coming after Wikipedia if his article were
removed. Taking down the Hivemind pages -- even assuming that no
copies will be put up by anyone else -- would only be the beginning,
since much of his most damaging activity has been at WR, rather than
directly on his own sites.
