Possibly. But I don't understand what the big deal is about removing tripe from the pages of Wikipedia. We're here to edit an encyclopedia, not pander to conspiracy theorists of those who take their rubbish seriously.
I don't consider "conspiracy theorists" to be good faith editors who have never heard of the abuse against SV asking questions about what seems to them to be an interesting tidbit of news which is probably false (but nevertheless interesting).

Erm, conspiracy theorism has nothing to do with 'good faith' or 'bad faith', it is simply a way of looking at things, which may very well be insane, but that has nothing to do with intent. Also see Humanism.
This doesn't have anything to do with good faith or bad faith either. We aren't talking about blocking or banning people - we are talking about protecting SlimVirgin from severely psychologically damaging comments.
And no, that doesn't mean the comments were meant to be psychologically damaging, but there is a huge difference between intent and effect... and the effect is psychological damage.
They can ask by e-mail.
