Daniel Brandt's Wikipedia Hivemind Site

Here is a post that interested me mostly because it is personal. This is an excellent explanation of the inner psychology behind Daniel Brandt's Hivemind site, of which my name, picture taken from my private social networking page, date of birth, and many others with addresses, names of family and spouses and also current and former employers are all listed on. As a supposedly anonymous user on Wikipedia I felt that this was very invasive and tantamount to bullying. Daniel Brandt uses this site to publicly blackmail, harass and otherwise cyberbully good people for no good reason other than they do not share his twisted and hypocritical view on internet privacy (His view being that he deserves to have total privacy while nobody else gets any at all) .

Review: Daniel Brandt's Wikipedia Hivemind Site

Credit goes to the original author obviously.

ED is down again.

I just noticed that Encyclopedia Dramatica is down. I had a suspicion that Brandt might be behind this, not a far reach considering he was behind them going down every other time (I just realized the irony in me defending Encyclopedia Dramatica, if this was my 5 years ago Wikipedian self  I would not believe it, but I digress) so I went to check.  From the topic in their IRC it looks like my suspicion was right. At least the damage was minimal:

Topic On: [ #ed ] [ Encyclopedia Dramatica: Now with 400% more site crash | The reason we are down ---> [Daniel Brandt] ...again. Be right back tho it's not a big loss just a $25 a month proxy. | No public logging ]
Topic By: [ Meepsheep ]

Keep fighting the good fight guys.

Edit: I did talk to an ED sysop and they showed me a long unsigned list of complaints mailed to their host which matches exactly to another long list of complaints that was signed by Brandt from 2 months ago.

Encyclopedia Dramatica: there is a joseph evers: Official Review of the JosephEvers Blog: http://josephevers.blogspot.com/ - Owned by Anonymous, Advised by Daniel Brandt

Here is a post from another person who was also a victim of Daniel Brandt. He/She doesn't want his or her experience published as they are trying to remain anonymous, but instead has decided to rebut the "stalker blog" that Brandt has openly admitted to working on:

On Daniel Brandt, censorship and misusing information to enable real life harassment for no good reason

This little blog has gotten a lot of attention for just one day. A reader just forwarded this to me a few minutes ago: http://pastebin.com/GBpRHVh5

I invite others to forward me their stories so I may share them too. Email them to help@danielbrandtisstalking.me

Daniel Brandt, Public Information Research, Internet Bully

I was browsing through the Encyclopedia Dramatica Forums when I came across a discussion where ED admin Zaiger is explaining his and ED's problems with a harassing individual named Daniel Leslie Brandt. This brought me back to my own days of being stalked and tortured by Brandt and my own listing on Daniel Brandt's Hivemind site. Zaiger makes some excellent points and provides sources to back up his arguments for not only Brandt stalking his family and friends, but also to the real reason behind Encyclopedia Dramatica (.com) closing, which not surprisingly was also Brandt's doing. Important posts will be reproduced here later on for those who do not wish to go to Encyclopedia Dramatica, although I do suggest clicking through and reading the entire thread, or at least the first 10 pages, to get the full context:
