I think we can reasonably say that any time one posts a link to
wikien-l with "is --- an attack site?", the answer is JESUS GOD OF
COURSE NOT PLEASE NO.

Taking this to its reductio ad absurdam is left as an exercise for the reader.

(But one of our more myopically enthusiastic admins will probably be
along before the year's out to *actually* propose banning links to,
say, the BBC, so they probably don't have to take it very far...)
