The position I have tried to argue on this issue is that going to
SlimVirgin's talk page or some other talk or project page to post,
"See, even Slate thinks you are a spy" would be actionable harassment
that should be removed, but that this should have no effect on the use
of Slate as a reference in any article where it is appropriate.
However, I disagree with Fred that the "remove every mention of a site
that contains an attack even from articles" is a strawman. I believe
that argument has been made in connection with several sites, on the
basis of, "as a top ten site we should not reward bad people with
links." Perhaps it was made in bad faith by provacateurs, but I
believe it has been made.

However, John, including this link on our mailing list, or linking to it
from within Wikipedia is quite mischievous. Do you believe that pile of
crap? Or feel drawing attention to it somehow aids Wikipedia?
Does it not depend entirely on the context and purpose of the link?
