The Tersa Nielsen Hayden situation pretty much demonstrates that the attack site criteria are not firm or unambiguous.
No, it doesn't. Here, I'll resolve that question now: Teresa Nielsen-Hayden's weblog is unambiguously *not* an attack site. Will Beback suffered a momentary lapse of reason, and he seriously fucked up in a way that should cause him to blush continously for the next two weeks.
No indeed. But that anyone could seriously act as though it was indicates that any policy for mindless mass-removal of links to an alleged "attack site" is fundamentally flawed and would damage the encyclopedia. Because that's what actually happened, in practice, not in theory.
