Is naming a site the same as linking? Note that in the example that
caused the case, antisocialmedia.net (which is undoubtedly an attack
site) was named, not linked, and its name has been in reliable sources
(under the interpretations pushed by the most prominent advocates of
BADSITES-like policies).
