Yep... and, as the WR person who posted here last night said (his 
blog posting is interesting reading), it's quite possible that there 
are "socks of banned users" on *both* sides of a contentious dispute, 
as in fact there was in this case.  Yes, that's right... the blog 
link was re-added by a trolling sockpuppet of a banned user... but 
the blog link was also *deleted* by a trolling sockpuppet of a 
different banned user, and the two banned users were in collusion 
with one another on this, trying to stir up drama, and they 
succeeded.  The only solution to this sort of thing is to calmly and 
rationally decide the issue of whether the link should be there or 
not, without regard to which version happens to agree with some 
banned user.
