In case you haven't seen it, the infamous [[Jeffrey Vernon Merkey]] has brought back his (long-offline) site:
(Despite the "law" in the URL, he's not a lawyer, just a highly litigious individual.)
The current incarnation of the site is full of vile libels against various Wikipedians, including Jimbo... and also myself. Various accusations are made including claiming people to be terrorists, pedophiles, stalkers, advocates of the violent overthrow of the government, and so on. In my own case, he accuses me of writing death threats and soliciting violence and murder on Wikipedia, a statement that's completely devoid of any semblance of truth.
And I thought [[Daniel Brandt]] and his "Hive Mind" page (which also lists me, with false and misleading statements) was bad.
Daniel Brandt at least doesn't, I believe, list deliberately malicious info about people; while his "Hive Mind" page is thoughtlessly compiled and contains numerous false and misleading statements, I think he truly believes them to be correct.
Mr. Merkey, though, appears to be a pure and utter nut.

Daniel Brandt's page was worse, I think. This guy's just whining and spewing complete falsehoods. I don't think it's even worth thinking about.

"He is known to post messages on Wikipedia and LKML which solicit violence and murder of US Citizens, and which are libel."
Because you'd be so worried about a hit order being libellous.

So what is this LKML that he is talking about? "He posts death threats on Wikipedia and LKML..."
