around the bush with vague talk of "attack sites" that someone can

because they can and will.
People will always wikilawyer any rule, but that doesn't mean they
shouldn't be made. The remedy for wikilawyering is common sense, as
always. Moreover, rules should be as general as possible; Wikipedia
shouldn't have a policy about one specific item.
We have a situation where the problem is with a couple of specific
sites. We have people wanting to ban linking to those sites. Every
discussion involved seems to be about those two sites.
Well, there are a couple of pretty egregious offenders, that's true.
But that's not really the point.
