Public figure
"By any reasonable definition, Kimberlin is a public figure. After he claimed to have sold marijuana to Dan Quayle, New Yorker writer Mark Singer investigated him and made him the subject of a book. When Kimberlin resurfaced in the world of "black box voting" activism, conservative bloggers started to ask questions about him. Skip to May 2012. Blogger Patterico says he was the victim of a hoax that brought armed police officers to his home. The blogger "Aaron Worthing," identity exposed by a frivolous lawsuit, is counter-suing." -- http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2012/05/25/opening_act_blog_about_brett_kimberlin_day.html 71.212.251.217 (talk) 20:01, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

SWAT-ting
Unless someone has a reliable source that Kimberlin himself (or people associated with Kimberlin) were behind the SWAT-tings, this discussion has to be deleted as speculation. Also, my understanding was that "Blog About Brett Kimberlin Day" was unconnected to the SWAT-ting. Let's keep the article grounded in verifiable facts, please. -- AyaK (talk) 05:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- I tend to agree. It turns out we have an article on swatting though, and I added a traditional news source about Erickson's. 71.212.251.217 (talk) 05:16, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- I just commented out the swattings, and am going to look for allegations reported in major media now.... 71.212.251.217 (talk) 05:21, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Clear bias
Conservatives have "hounded" Kimberlin about the bombings? Hounded? There is not a cogent argument that can be made that such language is neutral. Moreover, repeatedly blogging about Kimberlin's bombing conviction doesn't constitute "hounding". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.154.75 (talk) 05:30, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Neutrality issue?
