I don't know who made the Wikipedia entry of "World Wide Web War 1" -- but it certainly places things in perspective. Yeah, Neil does look like a buffoon submitting a more-or-less corporate letter like that without contacting his lawyers and whatnot to confirm that he infact won't be making a wrong move and giving others a reason to counter-sue (if you will).
That being said... I am also suprised that all of these different communities stood up, it's a very honorable thing to do for something that you created. Naturally, it shows that infact, 'we' (the majority of people who stood up for the content being created -- and then exploited by Ebaums) don't needd to hide behind lawyers nor paperwork. Yes, it has some concenquences, very bad ones, but its the concenquences that some people need to face in order to tell others (for example, Neil/Eric Baumen) that their sh*t-work is a wrongdoing.
