Hey gang,
The webmaster of Making Light has redacted the offending comments. I'm glad to see Teresa Nielsen Hayden's act of moderation and withdraw my objections to linking to her website.
I acknowledge over-reacting initially and appreciate everyone's patience and understanding in this matter. I apologize for any disruption. I acted in good faith in accordance with [[WP:NPA]] yet realize that strict interpretations of policies can sometimes lead to results that aren't optimal.
Upon reflection, the most important fact is that our aim is to build an encyclopedia. For that effort we need material (sources) and builders (editors). We have to respect our editors and carefully evaluate our sources, choosing the best we can find. When those two needs conflict seriously I think we should favor the editors rather than the sources. Any reputable fact should have more than one source available, yet committed editors are harder to find. We can work out individual sourcing issues on a case-by-case basis.
Cheers, Will Beback
