Yes, it was appropriate. The MONGO case was quite clear when we voted on it, and the vote was unanimous:
"A website that engages in the practice of publishing private information concerning the identities of Wikipedia participants will be regarded as an attack site whose pages should not be linked to from Wikipedia pages under any circumstances."
OK, so we not cannot link to the New York Times, after its recent magazine article.
I wish people would stop these hyperbolic slippery slopes. The NYT has not "outed" any Wikipedia editor. The only sites that shouldn't be linked to are those that make a *habit* of outing people, and the only people who are warned they might be blocked (or who are blocked) are the ones doing it deliberately and disruptively, as in "Oh, is THIS one of the naughty ones?" And "Ooooh, what about this? Aren't I awful?"
