A prominent person, popular with most of our users, can harass an editor who takes a political position most of don't like, on his website. If we do anything about it, other than ask him to quit, we would make ourselves a laughing stock.
Right. In particular, if we went out of our way to suppress links to the man's own website, we would make ourselves a laughingstock.
I must have missed something. Are there people seriously advocating that [[Michael Moore]] cannot contain a link to michaelmoore.com? If so, I'd say this proves beyond doubt that the policy-that-can't-be-called-BADSITES really is unworkable, that the bizarre repercussions which some have predicted are not only realistically possible, but have already happened.
