I didn't include the rumors about an "army of pissed people" and "false DMCAs" that the Daily Dot article speaks of.
Good!

Are there any specific "rumors" in the Wikipedia article that you're concerned about?
Well, two things. I'm not
concerned about any of this; the word is probably more like "amused" or "fed up." (Admittedly, the last is two words). Also, I'm using the term "rumor" loosely - I actually don't doubt that any of this is true; I'm just pointing out what should belong in an "encyclopedia" and what shouldn't, once we're past the issue of whether this article would belong in one at all (IMO, it wouldn't).
So, having said that, the parts in boldface below are what I would delete, if it were my article.

According to Gawker, "Entire blogs have been devoted to exposing ED's staff as cyberbullies."[41] Garrett E. Moore described one blog in particular, josephevers.blogspot.com, as a "stalker blog." EncyclopediaDramatica.ch accuses Daniel Brandt of being the operator of josephevers.blogspot.com. Brandt denies being the blog's operator and claims that he only a "researcher and advisor" for the blog's operator, whose identity is unknown to Brandt. According to Moore, Brandt pressured DeGrippo into closing the original ED. josephevers.blogspot.com formerly hosted the personal information of the original Encyclopedia Dramatica's staff. Moore also accused Brandt of harassing his fiancée at her workplace. Brandt claims that it was in retaliation of the spam he received after Moore published Brandt's contact information on an IRC channel. According to an encyclopediadramatica.ch sysop, a complaint resulted in the deletion of encyclopediadramatica.ch's article on Daniel Brandt. The anonymous operator of josephevers.blogspot.com described his blog and the alleged team behind it as being dedicated to "the misdeeds of the people associated with the old and new Encyclopedia Dramatica. I have exchanged emails with Brandt. I've also exchanged emails with other people who feel they have been abused by ED and I've given them advice on how to deal with it."
...obviously the resulting material would have to be rearranged for readability, but you get the general idea.
