Who David Shankbone is, and why he is relevant to this thread, is explained in the link found in the first post. He was a prolific member of the English Wikipedia and (I believe) English Wikinews, interviewing a number of high profile individuals and uploading multiple thousands of original photos. He's since left the projects, due in part to harassment that he describes in the linked article.
David's case, which has been going on for quite a while, included very significant quantities of real-life harrassment and threats, much beyond the on-wiki incidents which were related.
It is one of the better examples of a problem clearly transcending Wikipedia's ability to mitigate the effects, though there was more happening on-wiki than we should have allowed to happen.
I appreciate that David is willing to speak out publicly about what happened to him. Perhaps this will help motivate change.
