...in the process of discussing (not ignoring) the harassment and formulating plans to minimize or eliminate it, we're going to have to talk about it, and we're going to have to include links where relevant, because [hyper]links are as vital in web-based discourse as bibliographic references are on paper.
If the matter is serious enough that open discussion is inappropriate, information regarding the link can be emailed to the arbitration committee and we can make a decision without there being public discussion.
If the matter is so sensitive that open discussion is inappropriate, *all* information about the matter (links and otherwise) will necessarily be traveling via email or some other non-open channel, so no special policy for links in such matters should be necessary.
