According to a thread at the Wikipedia Review

Daniel Brandt is wishing to name every Wikipedia
admin, expanding the
Hivemind page (
http://www.wikipedia-watch.org/hivemind.html) to include all
such details.
BTW, his enemies list looked like a pretty distinguished crowd,
so I sent him mail asking to be added to it, along with where I
live so he would get more excited.

My real name (Daniel Mayer) and where I live (Atlanta, Georgia, USA) is not a secret. If
that is
all he is listing, then I wouldn't care if I were on that list either. But if he
starts to list
other things, such as home addresses, phone numbers, workplace, etc, then that is
something very
different since that can be used to harass people and even put them in danger. How many
crank
calls directed at you to your boss will your boss tolerate before firing you?
So, IMO, the list as is, is mostly harmless. But then, I may be hardend by the fact that
I've
received death threats in the past by a now banned Wikipedian.
