[WikiEN-l] Suppression of links to 'attack sites'?

[Daniel R. Tobias]

It seems to me like some of the people who favor a draconian policy 
against linking to "attack sites", regardless of context, are coming 
from a similar mindset to that which has produced "Zero Tolerance" rules 
all over the place these days, as documented here:

That mindset dislikes letting the "authorities" have any discretion to 
use common sense in administering rules depending on the circumstances; 
they'd rather have an absoulute rule, enforced absolutely ([[Judge 
Dredd]] style).  You see a lot of that both on Wikipedia and in the 
outside world these days; too many people want to simplify a complex 
world by being absolutist in their following of rules.
