Right, I wasn't clear. I was thinking it would be strange if the chapter
members took no action, as members (even forwarding a complaint to OTRS),
and the only explanation I had for that was the legal danger in appearing to
take responsibility on behalf of the chapter. As long as they forward the

The chapter refused to look at the complaint or take any action at all?

Yes, I totally agree with Ziko.
The article about Heilmann do had contents that are very questionable.
There were content that are not proved and that are now removed, that
must be removed according to our rule of living people biographies.
Heilmann complained through his lawyer at first by Wik
In order not to let a wrong impression slip into the collective long-term
memory:
Heilmann complained about several points in "his" article, some more, some
less worth considerable. It was also about his private life. So, reducing it

I think publicly thanking the donors for supporting us against him
would be sufficiently humiliating without being petty.

* Against the former Stasi
* To benefit the growth of free knowledge

The controversy was about mentioning his past in the former East German
