Yeah, I felt kinda foolish after I posted that.  But then,
on reflection, I didn't feel so foolish after all; I think
it was a pretty easy mistake to make.

This whole debate is about banning links to sites that say things
we don't like about Wikipedians.  So I naturally assumed (after
an, I admit, too-quick reading) that Fred's quoted text was
something questionable Professor Black had written that we might
not want to link to.  But now evidently we're talking about
banning links to sites that link to things we don't like about
Wikipedians?  Really?
