Yep, that's why appeasement gets such a bad rap.
Brandt is not a terrorist, but he is a bully, and bullies live for the moments when they get to feel strong at the expense of their victims. I think it drives him crazy that Wikipedia as a whole can't be bullied; he and his sycophants will go after individuals all day, and sometimes get a hit on one on them, but there's no "boss" to go after, not Jimbo, not the mysterious evuhl "Slimmy", not the Foundation. Even in the very unlikely event that he succeeds in suing the Foundation out of existence, people would just move WP elsewhere - like to wikipedia.google.com :-) or even worse, make clones for every search company that dreams of unseating Google. So instead of having one copy of his bio to monitor, he will cleverly have arranged to have hundreds of diverging versions to monitor instead!
