In 2014, there was an incident in the Netherlands where two Wikipedia administrators went to a woman's home to harass her.
The total number of comments in the “brigade,” aside from one from me and two from you, was two. And one of those two was pointing out a typo in your brigade announcement.
you forgot to mention that this happened in 2014
Fixed, thanks.
