I like the idea of linking to fanlore like you linked here where it's a whole debate with lots of people back and forthing. Linking to fanlore write up of one meta seems more or less the same as just linking to the meta. Since anyone could have added it to fanlore, anyway. So I guess ask the person if they're still in fandom, and I'd think it'd be okay to link if not.

As I said last post, I really like the older posts for context, but I can really see not wanting an off the cuff rant linked around for five hundred people to look at ten years down the road. I said lots of shit ten years ago that I don't want to be my fandom legacy.
