If the already absurd BADSITES policy (and
friends) is going to drive itself off a cliff and now prohibit links to
any sites that, through n degrees of link traversal, may *indirectly*
reach objectionable material, then we might as well just turn off
external links entirely.
Making "attack" transitive does has this effect. So it's not a great
theoretical position, to state that any link to an attack is an attack. The conclusion,
from some time ago in my case, that the "attack" language is not useful for
describing how hypertext works. We should, as ever, look at intentions of WP editors in
linking, and look also at how any link contributes to the mission. Stick with
"don't link to junk" and "don't link in order to harass".
