Wales comments had an immediate threefold effect: 1) this was exactly what Berlet wanted, an official declaration removing Brandt's status as any sort of expert critic on Chip Berlet; 2) it fueled the already existent anti-Brandt sentiment within the Wikipedia Admin community; and 3) it added '''undue weight''' ('''WP:UNDUE''')<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:UNDUE#Undue_weight</ref> to criticism of Brandt when placed within the Wikipedia entry on Brandt, another systemic violation of Wikipedia's own written policies. All hope for a civil and equitiable resolution to the impasse was lost, and many unwitting dupes in the Wikipedia Admin community picked up the anti-Brandt torch to retain the article simply because Brandt wanted it deleted.  Brandt began demanding accountability from the army of unnamed, unidentified Wikipedia Administrators furthering Berlet's agenda to destroy Brandt's credibility, and elevate Berlet's own as a Wikipedia "expert," while concealing the [[extremist]] roots of Berlet's own backgraound which would deny him inclusion as a source on any subject other than himself.

{{Cquote|he dates back to a time when people would look up facts in books and would verify information without just doing a copy and paste from an AP news article and thinking they were done. He compares writing styles, he calls government agencies, and he writes letters. And when he's done, he tends to know. Or at least, he knows where he stands in terms of information. He's rather tenacious about getting stuff right.

Therefore, guys like Daniel Brandt are horrible for Wikipedia: he researches. He finds laws that pertain to situations. He asks the tough questions that could upset the whole Wiki-cart.}}
