And this is different from wikien-l, and its Web archive, how? You seem to be claiming that open forums are inherently evil.
If you seriously believe that WR and wikien-l are comparable, then we have nothing more to say to each other. At least not until Jimbo says that WR is the right place for philosophical debate about Wikipedia.
No, he was saying that the argument you actually wrote, as quoted above, was specious, which it is.
You're attempting to justify not linking to WR for reasons that have nothing to do with the actual reason, that it's a welcoming haven for obnoxious trolls, nutters and sociopaths. Thus, the reasons you're using look silly.
