That's not what we're talking about at all.

Its part of it. People I think are letting it slide for comments, because there is no penalty.
But most importantly: why Brandt's free pass?

This has already been answered several times so far, but I'll repeat the basic points:
Brandt is not being given a 'free pass' to edit, he is being allowed to make useful comments about concerns he has about his own article. I am certain that if he were to make any abusive edits to [[Talk: Daniel Brandt]], they would be reverted. However, reverting his edits to the _talk page_ of the article about *himself* when he's merely expressing concerns about an article that could affect his PERSONAL LIFE directly is simply unfair and isn't going to help anybody.
He's not being given 'special treatment'; I would expect any other banned users with articles about themselves to be treat the same.
