What's stopping someone from registering http://totaldickhead.com and pointing it to their favourite Wikipedian's user page?
Nothing at all. It would, however, fall under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPA#Off-wiki_attacks, so if it was known who did it they would probably be blocked or at least asked (firmly) to take it down. If they did not have an account (or were already blocked, etc) then there's not really anything we could do about it, short of asking the devs to redirect to Main_Page if the HTTP referrer header matched that domain.
