We possibly erred in deleting the article on him. This latest mention in the Slate article may have tipped the balance with respect to notability. If he is taken serious by mainstream media, perhaps we ought to have an article. Or perhaps we should make an explicit exception for subjects we are too close to, and not have articles for such subjects.

I predict that they will start another bio on me. This time it's even clearer than it was when Slim started it, that the general context is a feeling among certain admins on Wikipedia that it's time for malicious payback. That means everything in the bio had better be completely NPOV and accurate, or I'll have a defamation case even if the court decides that I'm a public figure.
The important thing, however, is that restarting my bio pushes Florida's two-year statute of limitations ahead, because it has expired now for the original bio.
Oh goody, another two years to find a kick-ass Section 230 lawyer who is willing to do it
pro bono.
