Sorry for the confusion. When I say "BADSITES" I am referring to any 
proposed or actual policy that we not link to certain sites because 
there are things on them that some people don't like. I'm glad to use 
another name if you'd like to suggest one.

Let me be clear: I believe the policy that you are proposing, although 
well meant, prevents good discussions of the sort that are Wikpedia's 
foundation.
