Linder and others have called for killing Jews. The post discusses the way to reconquer Wikipedia from the Jews. He then goes on to list the "chief jews" in Wikipedia. I'd say that's pretty close to a death threat. If someone was issuing death threats based on my contributions to Wikipedia I would certainly hope that the person would be blocked. I think Wikipedia should consider legal action against the ISP hosting the site for soliciting acts of violence against Wikipedia editors.
Exactly. I feel this discussion of danger to users has direct personal relevance for me.
I used to post exact flight and train arrival times on my travel page because this enabled random Wikipedians to meet me at the airport, which is of course quite helpful. I don't do that anymore because of lunatics like Sollog.
Hateful people like this sometime do evil things. This means we have to be extremely thoughtful in thinking practically about the best way to deal with them. But it also means that we should not waste 1 second worrying about whether we are somehow being inappropriately intolerant.
I am not tolerant of people who post my name in a menacing way in a thread which contains a discussion of 'taking over wikipedia' and using force against Jews and so on.
