Yeah... the "rutabaga" analogy is more apt. 187 articles currently contain that word, while a few hundred contain links to sites that have been considered "badsites" by some.
You really have no idea how offensive your fatuous example is to those who have been viciously attacked, do you?
But then I don't suppose you've ever had your home address and telephone stuck on the web, or had people call your home, or try to get you sacked, or stalk you.
Tempting though it is to wish that you could see the other side of that particular coin, actually I would not wish it on my worst enemy. So do please try to use your evidently fertile imagination instead.

The whole lot of you really need to stop this. Guy, there are plenty of people who have had all of those things happen to them, and it is insulting for those of us who have had it happen to hear you imply that not linking to Wikipedia Review will save us from such things happening. If you use your real name on the web, and you tick off real people, they may well give you real life headaches. I am terribly sorry your wife is paying the price for your hobby.
And Dan - yes, Rutabaga is insulting.
This discussion has gone on long enough, and everyone just needs to get over themselves. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong.
Now...go to your rooms or no pudding.
