What consistency? One example, quickly contained. As I said, I've seen people doing sweeping removals of links to specific sites for all sorts of reasons, they don't need a strawman policy for justification.
One example? I can think of a lot more than just the Teresa Nielsen Hayden case. Links to "attack sites" have been removed from the Signpost in the past, and people like Dan Tobias have been aggressively highlighting them on the list.
The link removal from the Signpost was a bad idea? Just because Dan Tobias doesn't like something, it doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
