We listened particularly to the advice of those who have have been harassed. The conclusion is that continuing to link to and communicate with harassers just encourages them. A firm "no" is what is called for.

I've been told on no uncertain terms that the arbcom has endorsed no
such position.

I've also now spoken to foundation staff and heard what I could only
describe as nearly the opposite response.

Can you explain this discrepancy?

My last message on this subject brought me a mountain of insults and
hate mail, so I can understand why no one is jumping up to cast more
light on this situation... but I will personally not be intimidated by
attacks or threats.
