Is that "Wow" facetious? I hope so.
Not especially, no. If one is George W. Bush, and an attack blog is
in the top 50 sites on Alexa, I'd expect it to be linked, but this is
a trivial story from the election, almost entirely unrelated to the
MP's performance of her duties and of strictly limited significance in
her life as a whole. Constituent opposes candidate? Interesting
during the election, maybe interesting as a sidenote. Constituent
opposes candidate, read all the garbage here? Not really the kind of
thing we should aspire to have in biographies, surely?
You didn't write "You really think trivially related sites should be
linked to articles on living people on the grounds that readers can
make up their own minds?"
And I wasn't responding to that, since that's not what you wrote.
So I'm not sure where you got the impetus to write your response to my question.
