Wikipedia editors do a huge amount of work for Wikipedia, and get little in return. The least they can ask is that Wikipedia itself not increase the readership of site that attack them - attacks that have come about precisely because they have been doing work for Wikipedia.
And curiously, the few (<5) editors who are most aggressively attacked for on-Wiki actions are the ones who want the links removed. You have a conflict of interest, Jay. Perhaps if administrators and editors focused on making the articles better, rather than advancing their own ends and personal, social, or religious ideals (not naming names) they wouldn't draw off-Wiki "enemies" like flies.
I didn't notice this e-mail before; in response, I'll just note that perhaps if posters to this list focused on honest and intelligent dialogue, rather than advancing foaming-at-the-mouth "women who dress in scanty clothes are just asking to be raped" arguments, (not naming names), they'd have a better chance of not looking like rabid fools.
