Would you support the inclusion of a sentence in NPA indicating that links to content that meets the definition of personal attacks will be treated in the same way as a direct personal attack?
As I said earlier, the problem with the worst of the sites is that practically every link will lead to a page containing a serious personal attack, even if that's not the comment being linked to. It's the site we want to prevent links to, not just particular pages.
The other problem with your proposal is if we equate on- and off-wiki attacks, it would mean we could ban people for off-wiki attacks, something the community has not previously supported. Similarly, the systematic removal of on-wiki attacks is not fully supported.
What we are talking about are the sites, not particular attacks.
