But the article *did* mention Encyclopedia Dramatica by name, which

Dan, I'm no longer responding to arguments based on straw man
policies; why would you imagine I would take a straw man argument
seriously?

That's another one of the strawman arguments, Dan.

Do you guys complete one another's sentences, too?
I've seen plenty of straw men coming from your camp too, like the
constant mentions of the so-called "attack sites" not being "reliable
sources", something that's irrelevant when the link in question is
being done outside article space (like the vast majority of the links
that have been made an issue), and arguably untrue in the handful of
cases where the link actually was in article space (like the one that
triggered this particular thread, where the link was used as a source
for something that actually occurred in such a site, and was relevant
to a notable controversy being covered in an article). In non-
article linking, WP:RS is irrelevant, and in article linking it's a
content dispute which isn't helped by one side threatening to block
people on the other side.
