http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Linking_to_external_harassment essentially eliminates the ability to link to Wikipedia Review, which fails at least four of the five "Should I link to it?" criteria in "LINKLOVE". If people stopped pushing BADSITES and looked at something more like LINKLOVE they'd win over those of us who don't give a fuck about linking to the Wikipedia Review but are unprepared to delink slashdot.org from [[slashdot]] or newyorker.com from [[The New Yorker]]. It's probably worth considering.
Well yes, but at least one IP has recently marked that as rejected based on the assertion that it is BADSITES in all but name. Some people seem unwilling to move beyond absolutist positions.
Of course not. BADSITES was absolutist for a reason. Screaming BADSITES whenever someone deletes garbage links serves the same purpose.
