And whether naming antisocialmedia.net in [[Judd Bagley]] should count
as a personal attack on the people attacked by that site, even though
the site itself is named openly in the NYT etc. as relevant. There was

I still don't understand what NPOV has to do with this. A link to edit a Wikipedia user's page is as shameful for MIchael Moore as any excess of ours. In a way, linking to it puts him in a false light, displaying petty bullying.
