Although I personally agree to blacklisting that site, looking at the 
current, related request for arbitration gives the impression that 
sufficient consensus does not really exist.

At the very least the *timing* of both the Afd for [[Judd Bagley]] and 
this blacklisting are rather questionable.

In my opinion,  this site should have been blacklisted ages ago, and I 
asked related question a while back.
