Just got this charming missive. If we're not going to do anything about Brandt, I'll just stop editing the article like he wants because I don't need to spend the rest of my life being hounded by a crazy man.
Just one more edit from Jokestress on my bio article, or just one more edit from you on my bio article <b>OR</b> on any of the two Talk pages or my User page, regardless of the nature of the edit -- even if it is ostensibly friendly -- and you and Jokestress are both going into a Google-Watch sidebar with your real names and pictures. I may throw in Sir William Reierson Arbuthnot, 2nd Baronet of Kittybrewster, into the mix as well, since he is part of the Google Groups episode as of today (which makes it relevant to Google-Watch.org). I don't know about him yet because I'm not sure he knew what he was doing. By the way, this is not a threat. It's a promise. Also, I'd advise you to put your real name on your user page, because all of your harassment (please learn to spell this word) from January 5, 2006 until now has been done "without disclosing his identity," which makes you potentially liable for criminal penalties under that new law that you deleted from my user page. It doesn't matter that I've identified you, because you are still operating on Wikipedia as someone whose identity is not disclosed. Yes, please take this to Brad Patrick, Wikipedia's lawyer, in Tampa. My position is that he should be reporting you to the U.S. Attorney in Tampa as part of his legal obligation to protect Wikipedia. If he doesn't, I can raise the issue with the Florida bar. In other words, it would be a conflict of interest for Mr. Patrick to give you any advice on this. Jokestress is off the hook in terms of the criminal statute because she identifies herself on her user page. I'm sending a copy of this to Jokestress by external email. --Daniel Brandt [[User:68.93.142.243|68.93.142.243]] 18:35, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Not much we can do. If he is starting to cause real world hassel probably best that you walk away and enjoy the other parts of wikipedia.

So all he needs to do is bully people out of editing certain pages. Giving out personal details on the net is dangerous, giving out other people's details is criminal and should be stopped.
Can't we (or rather the people who keep getting threatened by him) step to the police and get something done?

Wont work to well. The people you can shift through bullying are those most likely to be fair.

The irony in all this is that Brandt started out claiming that he wanted to protect people's privacy on the internet. How making everyone reveal their names and IPs helps achieve this, I'm not exactly sure.

I think he's changed his line; he's now an "activist" or an "accountability activist", not a "privacy activist".

And here's Brandt demanding an administrator unprotect the article, reinsert crap his sockpuppets keep putting in there, and protect the article again in return for getting his name off of the hit list:
And for the record, I did unprotect the article (it was protected long enough anyway), but didn't do anything else, and still got my name taken off. Discussion could be a good way forward, even if past discussions have failed. I think I can say I'm proof.
