By JoshuaZ, no less!

Apologies if this topic has already been discussed or Mr. Brandt disapproves. I just noticed that Hivemind was back up and checked his account. JoshuaZ has reblocked him for having an outing site.

Oh dear.

How long will it be before Daniel's IP is blocked and his blanking reverted?

It is sad to think that you might be fighting Wikipedia to your very death... and even afterwards as you won't be even marginally protected by the BLP policy after you die. sad.gif

Makes you not want to do anything notable as WP might libel you even after you die. blink.gif

I think Daniel should relax after he dies and not worry so much about Wikipedia, personally.

In many cultures, offending the dead is often worse than offending the living. His estate could sue, I suppose (particularly if they can conclude that WP played a part in his death).

Whether the dead can sue Wikipedia, edit WP, or become an administrator on WP I think might be worthy of another forum topic, but probably not here. The topic is rather morbid.

Brandt's ghost will haunt Jimbo and maybe others if the ghost is so inclined.
