Heh. When I started reading "Whatever microscopic benefit can be (argued by
some) to be gained..." I thought it was going to followed by an admonition
that history shows us that greater harm invariably comes from the
institutional suppression of free speech and dissent than from allowing the
presence of "undesirable" speech.
Silly me.

Whatever microscopic benefit can be (argued by some) to be gained by
linking to a hate site like Wikipedia Review is immediately outweighed by
the harm that place and similar pages create. They openly hunt for
peoples'
identaties. They have active Jayjg and slimvirgin hunting threads, and for
others.
Do you support that? How about harassment of others like mongo, and
katefan,
and phaedriel, and so on...?
I have asked multiple people, can you think of a single GOOD reason to
link
to that site in particular, and got not one good answer, only strawmen
arguments about censorship and mccarthyism.
If you support inclusion of links to WR, shall we link to hivemind as
well,
and the encyclopedia dramatica wiki?
