You've identified the inherent fallacy of considering this (or any
other off-wiki activity) to be actionable under on-wiki policy.
short of asking the devs to redirect to Main_Page if
the HTTP
referrer header matched that domain.
Of course, if a domain name is so offensive that we must prevent it
from redirecting to a specific user page, I doubt we'd want it
redirecting to anywhere else on Wikipedia either. If we're going to
derail a unsavory domain name by technical means, let's do a better
bloody job of it. Use your imagination.
