That's an unhelpful slippery slope argument.
nielsenhayden.com is as likely to be regarded as an "attack site" as
any of those. I mean, Will systematically removed all links to
nielsenhayden.com as an "attack site" in absolute good faith. He
believed the value of what he was doing - inarguably causing damage to
the encyclopedia in the process.
That's why BADSITES *or anything that looks, walks and quacks like it*
is unacceptable. It will be abused to damage the encyclopedia. By
people convinced they're doing the right thing.
