- we have never been given an assurance by proponents of this rigid
definition that "reliable sources" like Slate cannot be given blanket treatment as attack sites and suddenly have all external links to them suppressed.
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...)
