An interesting aspect to the whole issue is the fact that it appears
that the same group of people who is so fervently in favor of banning
all links to so-called "attack sites" -- supposedly for the purpose
of protecting the privacy of editors "outed" there (said "outings"
being done by those sites with the supposed justification of imposing
"accountability" on those editors) -- is also fervently in favor of
maintaining the ban on editing through open proxies (the users of
which are doing so in order to protect their privacy, but opponents
of which claim gets in the way of "accountability"). In both cases,
they demand rigid, draconian enforcement "on sight", without
discretion.
