But I'll note that this positively-toned article does include a link to Wikipedia Review, showing that even friendly, sympathetic reporters don't seem to share the "Linking to attack sites is EVIL!" taboo.
Or they may simply not be aware of the "evil" things WR does. Most of what they do is just discussion and is a little annoying but certainly not evil. As far as I know, it's just the "admin outing" that people consider evil, and you could quite easily miss that part of what they do if you were just glancing at the site.
