The solution obviously is to ban links to vicious sites, but not extend bans, at least in policy conversations to sites which have significant legitimate critical content. Asking critical sites to ban posting by those who have been banned from Wikipedia for good reason is not a practical solution. Asking them not to engage in repeated harassment of our users might be.
No, the solution is to ban links to content that attacks Wikipedia users, regardless of the site, and to leave links to other content alone, *regardless of the site*.
