"Incitement of violence against Jews"

Ok we need to talk about this subchapter. Brusselmans has a long history of "obscene language and flat sexual statements. Many books are about his life as a famous writer and include swearing at those around him and fellow writers." (translated from nl:wiki:Herman Brusselmans).

I would add the situation as an additional line under the existing chapter "Bold, straightforward statements and comments have become his trademark throughout the years and don't fail to attract attention". SpamHunters (talk) 14:25, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am reverting the most recent edit. Feel free to add it to his career section if you choose. This is directed to whoever deleted the recent event where he expressed a desire to stick a knife down Jews' throats. This incident has been his most viral news story and is highly relevant to his article. Dag21902190 (talk) 15:42, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

user:Dag21902190, a talk page is not the place to just mention "I reverted your edit, feel free to add it if you want", this is not how anything on Wikipedia works. SpamHunters (talk) 15:06, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So reverting it is. You mentioned "highly relevant career information", which as I mentioned is already included in the article. Again, imo, it is mentioned.

I am btw shocked by you comment in the revert. As if a 250 edit person (there might be some more in other languages...) cannot make a good assesment. I do not make comments on your contribution history, which seems not entirely neutral in this, nor your history with ArbComs and the likes. SpamHunters (talk) 08:40, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding threat to jews at top

Obviously most people coming to this page do so because his comments about wanting to randomly start murdering Jews. This needs to be in the opening paragraph.
