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

This isn't about the BADSITES policy, this is about the MONGO case.
