[1. John's beaten horse is not dead because it's wrong -- I for one agree with it wholeheartedly -- but rather because something functionally equivalent to BADSITES still has enough support among people who matter that it's going to be around, in some form, for the foreseeable future. I console myself with the knowledge that "the foreseeable future" on Wikipedia is not very long.]
Who is it that you think supports suppressing all links to Slate? The only people I have seen advocating such a position are those who oppose removing any links to attacks. This is the strawman argument again. Of course, the strawmen would be wrong, if they existed.
