[WikiEN-l] How to stop Encyclopedia Dramatica from making attack articles on us

I can't speak so well, for the legal side of things, but this whole "I don't
like them, so I'll send takedown notices" attitude bugs me, too. I'm
actually fairly surprised that the Wikipedia community, which day-in and
day-out is greatly concerned with getting these *same sorts of complaints*
from people who want to control our content through legal threats and
similar means, would quickly turn around and threaten or plan the same sort
of behavior against other websites.

At this point, I would strongly oppose attaching Wikipedia's name to any
action of this nature, except in the most dire circumstances. If this is
done, let it be done by individuals who represent themselves and their own
interests.

I don't like trolls. That's why I block them on the wiki. Past that, I'm
less concerned about whether it's the business of the Wikipedia community --
communal antagonism of this nature only encourages them, you know.

Just a few thoughts,
-Luna
