Posting the link to the list? To raise discussion of the issue in meta terms
about policy, of course.

The really interesting thing about this Slate piece is that it is very
citeable for other subjects - if we want to cover Google's privacy issues,
this is probably one good source. Should we not cite this piece because it
happens to have one paragraph attacking and/or outing a prominent
Wikipedian? Now we aren't even in the realm of attack sites - we're in the
realm of whether a webpage which tangentially attacks a Wikipedian but
contains good citeable content is one we can link to.
