As others have pointed out, this would incentivize the use of similar
strategies. In fact, it would lead to a collaboration on a guidebook
how to blackmail Wikipedia. This potential outcome is by far worse
than Brandt's continuing harassment. That said, the best response to
Brandt is, quite frankly, not to feed him.

For difficult admin situations, there's always [[WP:SPARTACUS]].
