We can always add the link back after THF leaves (as all editors eventually do) or the harassment ends.
Good lord. I hope you meant to say "and" rather than "or".
I think by using "or" he meant to say that the harassement might end prior to THF leaving.
Hmm, for a second I thought he was saying that it would be o.k. to link to the site if THF stopped editing (for this or any other reason), but the harassment of THF by Moore continued[1].
Surely, the harassment on the site is either too offensive to link to, or it isn't!
Whether or not the "victim" of said harassment actively edits Wikipedia is a moot point, and I don't think it's appropriate to break the fifth wall in article space based on this distinction.

[1] This is hardly implausible, as people who harass others generally enjoy it so much that they don't stop when they get what they want (cf. Daniel Brandt).
