[1. John's beaten horse is not dead because it's wrong -- I for
one agree with it wholeheartedly -- but rather because something
functionally equivalent to BADSITES still has enough support
among people who matter that it's going to be around, in some
form, for the foreseeable future.  I console myself with the
knowledge that "the foreseeable future" on Wikipedia is not very
long.]

Who is it that you think supports suppressing all links to Slate? The only people I have seen advocating such a position are those who oppose removing any links to attacks. This is the strawman argument again. Of course, the strawmen would be wrong, if they existed.
