I know Halloween is right around the corner, but we really don't need
any straw men is this discussion.  Let's stick to discussion of links
to external sites that harass, expose and intimidate editors.

(Although you might be interested to know that the user page policy
does now prohibt "Material that can be construed as attacking other
editors, including the recording of perceived flaws. An exception is
made for evidence compiled within a reasonable time frame to prepare
for a dispute resolution process."  In other words, evidence is ok as
long as you actually intend to file a case, but nursing grudges is
verboten, because it can indeed constitute harassment of other
editors.)
