We do not have an exception to [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks]] which permits linking to a personal attack on an external web site.
Which is relevant if you buy into the concept that "everything not explicitly permitted is prohibited."
Anyway, the questions at issue tend to be of the form "Does the above apply in any way to a link, for a purpose unrelated to any attack, to a site that happens to also have attacks in it?"
Depends on the site. If the site is used in a campaign of harassment, maliciously, yes.
