Oh, my. I really thought you were. How, then, is this remotely compatible with NPOV?
We're already breaking NPOV simply by trying to suppress article-space links that specifically attack Wikipedia users, IMO. It puts Wikipedia users in a privileged position with regards to article contents.
Would BADSITES have lasted even five seconds if it had been about suppressing links to websites that were critical of Republicans, or Democrats, or whatever other group one cares to substitute? You'd have been able to see the crater left by the NPOV Hammer from wiki-orbit.
