I'm very sympathetic to the objections Original Position has raised (others as well). However the following isn't correct although it's a very valid point that some will take it that way.

The second requires a political judgement that anything directly associated with Breitbart is inherently offensive to vulnerable groups.
Quoting and referencing breitbart. Links are a further step that we have decided to ban. As I said to Senorkeeed:

There are quite a few reasons but from a practical modding pov it means that a) Anything nonPC is fairly obvious without anyone having to read the links (that includes helping people to report posts) and b) it prevents quick and easy link type posts.
Since the ban many have objected on the basis of there being good reasons to link to breitbart. Their points are correct in principle but I have to say that before the ban (and since apart from ACEG making a point) I've noticed very few, if any, links/quotes of breitbart that met these good reasons.
