Anyway, signs, tape, etc. will not go over well with wife. I am
leaning toward the wire nut and blank plate solution. So, just connect
all the white/brown/black wires, right?

But, there seems to be some disagreement here about what to do with
the green ground wire???

There should only be two wires to connect. If there are four, it is a
double pole switch, a good thing if you are ever going to work on the
fan. The green has to go to ground.

I'm against removing a safety device though, You may regret it some
day when it is solved with either a piece of tape or a simple guard.
