Saying blockchain or blockchain.info is safe... they're just a bitcoin wallet. They don't ask for your personal info, they don't monitor or care what you are doing, and they don't have control over the bitcoin in your account.
As for the other two, I can understand your point. One difference though is that when people hint at a bank name, most people know what they are talking about. But if you're new to Bitcoin it might be tougher to pick up on the fact that a post is disguising the name of a site, and then find the real one instead.
Also, if WPN is processing their transactions correctly there should be no way for the sites to even be able to detect or stop it. With checks, they might send out batches of them from the same account. Once a bank finds out a certain account number is processing poker related withdrawals they will stop accepting them. Or WU with names. Or with deposits and the type of charge they place on your card.
So the poker site needs to frequently change those things in order to keep them working.
But with Bitcoin it is like they are able to use a brand new one for every deposit and withdrawal. Like using a brand new and unique name for every WU transfer, or a separate bank account to write every withdrawal check from.
Even if they were somehow able to find out a certain address was used by WPN... WPN will never use that address again, giving them no help in detecting future transactions. It's made even more difficult since players should also be sending to their own newly generated address every time in between WPN and an exchange.
A more likely problem I could see is if you are easily identifiable from your 2+2 account, either by the email address you used or if your real name is known. Then there is a chance that a site monitoring this thread could find a post by someone and specifically ban them from their exchange.
tl;dr: I'm not too worried about those sites being able to stop transactions with WPN, but will try to lessen the frequency of posting their names in order to drop the Google ranking.
