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.
