Some editors in the debate over external harassment seem to have lost sight of the objective, which is to keep information about the identity of Wikipedia editors private. The action of edit-warring over a link which, if followed, purports to identify a Wikipedian, simply has the effect of drawing attention to the link and therefore to the purported identity. It also feeds off itself in that it creates even more debate over whether the edit-war is justified and whether administrative actions taken in relation to it were good. If the link had just been ignored in the first place none of this would happen.
This particular identity has had such extensive off-wiki publicity that I would say it becomes rather futile to remove all links to it. The horse has not merely bolted, but has left the paddock and is now running freely on the meadow.
