At a few points in the big debate over banning links to certain critical sites, the tactics and behavior of that policy's proponents were seeming to accomplish the impossible: making me gain some sympathy for the sites that were being so persecuted. However, it still only takes a quick look at those sites to make my blood boil and any sympathy I had for them to wither away; the arrogant idiocy displayed there is astounding. Nevertheless, I remain firm in my position that making flat bans on linking to any site is a bad policy.
