A link to whichever attack site we're discussing? Pretty remarkable if
one turns up. A link to something that someone might construe as an
attack site in the future for their own bizzare purposes? As we have
seen, sadly, not improbable...

If we want to ban some sites, *say so*, name them and make it clear.
As it is, "attack sites" is an invitation to querulous idiots.
