I'll certainly stand by this:

It's a long way from that to "sites that contain attacks on Wikipedia
users must not be linked to at all - not even parts of the site that
do not contain such attacks".
In the case of ED no, they are dedicated to snarky attacks. Sites like WR, full of people
we have banned, according to them, very unfairly, can also be quite nasty, but contain
from time to time criticism we ought to consider, wrong headed as it might be.
