No question it contained an attack, including a link to edit our user's page. The problem is that many of us like Michael Moore very much and don't care much for the viewpoint of the user involved.

That sounds like you're advocating having a draconian anti-link policy, then making special exceptions to it for "people we like". That doesn't seem very fair to me.
