I'd second that. He clearly suggests that Brandt is a nut. E.g., he 
introduces him with, "the conversation was a lot like discussing the 
grassy knoll circa 1966."  And he refers to the SlimVirgin bit with, 
"enter further into Brandt's matrix," which I read as "I think this is 
wacko-land".

Of course, to me, this underlines John's point. He can't even bring up 
an article that calls Brandt a conspiracy theorist and mentions the 
SV-as-MI5 bit as obvious nuttery without getting accused of acting in 
bad faith.
