The problem is that not everyone is engaged in writing an
encyclopedia. An increasingly large number of people hang around
Wikipedia project space to stir up conflict, and they tend to be the
ones who want to link to these sites. And before you jump down my
throat, I'm not saying that everyone who supports the pro-linking
position is just a troublemaker, but a fair number of them are.
