There are so many reasons that link bans are utterly
inappropriate
that it is a constant source of mystery to me why we are still having
a debate about them.
I would say that the original ban on links to ED would do just about
nothing to harm Wikipedia. With WR, it's *conceivable* a link might be
of use ... just unlikely.
But yes, full site bans are stupid.
And the "No personal attacks" policy page needs a serious purging.
Instruction creep much? I mean, what on earth. If you don't know that
the listed behaviour constitutes a personal attack, you're too bloody
stupid to be editing Wikipedia. Full stop.
