As we know, Slashdot posted a story linking to a paranoic article revealing SlimVirgin's real name and claiming she is a secret agent. Bad and dumb on their part. That of course makes SlimVirgin feel distressed, creates a lot of damage, etc.
And therefore, in order "to support productive editors and protect them from harassment both on and off Wikipedia", it is necessary that all links to Slashdot be expunged from Wikipedia immediately, right?
