Quoting fredbaud@waterwiki.info:
If the link is to a personal attack, it should not be republished. Depends on what's on the other end.

Um, where is this coming from? Is this from Fred as the great arbitrator, Fred as interpreting community consensus, Fred discussing what he would block for or what?
Following that question, do you really think that applies in general? This would imply that a discussion on ANI can't link to a personal attack and say "hey, this editor made the following personal attack. We should block them for it" but will instead say "Hey an editor made a personal attack, but I can't show it to you, so you'll have to go through his contribution list until you find it" That's unworkable and unproductive. If this isn't what you mean, some clarification would be nice.
