Err…

You made a statement saying that Beethoven was purple.

Were you really suggesting that Beethoven was purple?

Or weren’t you trying to dismiss the subject of Beethoven’s race?

When have I ever said that someone’s race doesn’t matter?

Never understimate the power of some old rich white guy complaining about (horror of horrors) defamation of his character.

What’s with this comment, Chris?

What happened to your much-vaunted idea that someone’s race doesn’t matter?

That policy change seems unrelated to the Seigenthaler thing. Obviously a registered user could still make a slanderous article, although I guess if he’s not anonymous he could be sued or something? (But I imagine you can still be pretty anonymous even if you register, not to mention you could be a non-US citizen.) And an unregistered user can still insert slanderous information into an existing article.
