[WikiEN-l] FredBauder"clarifies"onattackkkkkkk site link policy

[Blu Aardvark]

Ironically, so would I, and many of the other users who reject policies 
such as BADSITES and its numerous incarnations.

Removing such links isn't controversial; it's basic common sense. No 
policy is necessary, it just is done, and the only ones who whine are 
the trolls, generally those who posted the link in the first place.

Blanket bans, however, don't fall under this same common sense concept. 
That's what the community has soundly rejected, yet this same proposal 
keeps rearing its ugly head at every turn.
