Steve Summit just had to cough out the following stream of bytes from the specified email client, on 4/7/2007 1:46 PM
Why?
As the original poster has said:
We should "know thine enemy"; we shouldn't act like a mind-control cult trying to stop its members from finding out about critics and what they have to say, but we should encourage our editors to read such criticism -- and refute it on the many occasions where it's wrongheaded. But occasionally the critics say something right, too. Anyway, when they're threatening to sue Wikipedia and its editors, shouldn't we make ourselves aware of this? Banning all links to the site would prevent that too.
Obviously the site has violated NPA, and even on the NPA policy page, it says that :
Posting a link to an external source that fits the commonly accepted threshold for a personal attack, in a manner that incorporates the substance of that attack into Wikipedia discussion, including the suggestion that such a link applies to another editor, or that another editor needs to visit the external source containing the substance of the attack.
This site is an external source of personal attacks. Even planning to sue us and our fellow Wiki*edians is a personal attack.
