Here's my Solomonic solution: I propose that from now on, everyone  
refer to Daniel Brandt as "Baniel Drandt," and all links to his  
website must be entered beginning with "hppt" instead of "http."

Anyone who violates this rule will be required to crawl around on  
their hands and knees for an hour, singing "I'm a bad Wikipedian" in  
pig-Latin.

It would be silly, to be sure, but no more silly than the current  
expectation by the Banipedians that they have the right to order  
everyone else around.
