The [[Wikitruth]] site is engaging in "outing" the real names of Wikipedia editors, as well as various personal info (such as claiming transsexuality, and reporting on alleged sexual fetishes). It's also publishing various deleted articles from Wikipedia that have WP:BLP concerns associated with them. So how come the "anti-attack-sites" faction doesn't seem to care about it... it's got its own Wikipedia article, complete with an external link.

I didn't mean the way it sounded. I *would* like to hear from one of the supporters of BADSITES, though. ~~~~
I don't want to be snarky about this, but possibly because they have yet to out SlimVirgin?

Because they're a useless bunch of wankers, possibly. I'd forgotten that they existed, and I'm sure most of us here had, too.

Actually, if I think about it, that *is* the reason. Plus they don't let anyone edit it. :P ~~~~

I wonder what would be the result if one were to remove the link per "No personal attacks/BADSITES" and then nominated [[Wikitruth]] for deletion for the same basis. Or gosh, even speedied it as facilitating the outing of editors...

I thought it had already been established that Wikipedia admins are running that site.

Would that exempt it from the proposed BADSITES/attack sites 'no linking' plans?

Probably, but only on the plain in Spain. But you didn't see it e-mailed from me, or it'd be reverted for outing Spain.
