Right.  In particular, if we went out of our way to suppress
links to the man's own website, we would make ourselves a
laughingstock.

I must have missed something.  Are there people seriously
advocating that [[Michael Moore]] cannot contain a link to
michaelmoore.com?  If so, I'd say this proves beyond doubt that
the policy-that-can't-be-called-BADSITES really is unworkable,
that the bizarre repercussions which some have predicted are
not only realistically possible, but have already happened.
