Really, the problem with the BADSITES advocates claiming "our position is not BADSITES, it was written by a troll" is that they then follow with actions indistinguishable from BADSITES, and which ignore reductio ad absurdum.
These people seriously wish to trash NPOV and consensus (or even "consensus") for ... what precisely?

Have you offered a solution? Are the only two positions on this issue BADSITES or THICKSKIN? With the possible exceptions of a couple of editors, no one enjoys debating this matter, and a resolution that results in a consensus policy would be ideal. What elements do you think would be included in a good policy on links to external harassment?

The problem is incredibly easy to resolve, the correct answer is that there's no harrassing people, no wikilawyering and no special rules for external links. This is the de facto situation on the ground right now, in terms of outcomes. The only real problem is that getting there makes sausage making look clean.
