The way I see it, there has been vastly more disruption to Wikipedia coming from attempts to suppress links to sites than has ever occurred by the presence of such links.
You won't see the all of the disruption since in some cases it involves editors leaving due to the harassment. The aim of creating some kind of policy or guideline to cover the issue is to give editors a road map of how to handle this type of problem to minimize the disruptions that have resulted from off-site harassment. Simply saying it doesn't exist doesn't help.
That would be a great point -- if anybody had said it doesn't exist.
Perhaps you could address some of the things we are saying, rather than the much larger number of things we haven't? I'd still welcome replies on a number of my points, for example.
Thanks,
