Well, if they quote me that'll be my problem. I'll explain that my qualifier "Practically" is meant to be understood as "He acts like someone might assume he is..." I don't speak for Wikipedia/Wikimedia, and I've been following the Overstock/Byrne issue in the news since it first unfolded. He is litigious, but there's no risk to WMF. I considered leaving that part out, but the fact is his activity requires a strong adjective to be accurate.

He's practically psychotic, and has been for awhile. If the stock of his company ever goes up again, he might mellow out. In the mean time, you can be assured that anyone who doesn't conform to his radical opinions about corporate conspiracies will be tarred and feathered in the same manner.

You know, this sort of name-calling isn't particularly helpful, especially in a public and official forum. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but let's not start giving people medical diagnoses and handing The Register another lovely quote. Mostly I'd suggest people just ignore him, that tends to work fairly well.
