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.
Sorry, what he *meant* to say was that we can no longer link to Making Light.
That's a site that was blocked after sliding all the way down the "slippery slope", in the best of faith.
A "slide" that lasted all of couple of hours, and was quickly reversed. Hardly a crisis.
BADSITES is an odious, stupid and damaging policy. Please stop pushing it.
This isn't about the BADSITES policy, this is about the MONGO case.
