[WikiEN-l] Brandt says he might sue even if his bio is taken down!

[Daniel R. Tobias]

The notably infamous Brandt has a few more things to say on the 
subject of what he might do to Wikipedia even if Wikipedia caves in 
fully to his demands that his bio be deleted.  Unfortunately, the 
comments are on a site where, if I linked to it on Wikipedia itself, 
various people would go ballistic about it and try to enforce alleged 
policies against linking to such sites, but no such rule seems to 
exist on this list, so here's the link:

See how he "may decide" to "file a lawsuit anyway" even if we give 
him what he's asking for.  Subsequent discussion includes some back-
and-forth debate about whether the "Wikipedia Cabal" has secretly 
decided to delete Brandt's bio because it's too much trouble (and, 
along with that, suppress all internal opposition to such deletion 
forcibly), or, contrariwise, that the cabal will carefully craft a 
new BLP policy that allows some recourse to "bio victims" but still 
lets them keep the Brandt article... either way, they think he should 
sue about it.  In addition to supporting such a suit, the 
commentators are in general agreement that the fatal flaw of any 
possible policy that comes out of Wikipedia is that the policy comes 
out of Wikipedia; it's made by people within the Wikipedia community 
and consistent with that community's values and principles, which is 
inherently wrong: the policy should be imposed on Wikipedia from 
outside, preferably by the most fervent haters of the site and 
everything it stands for.
