Trying to make public discussion entirely opt-in sounds too difficult (if we're unsure about linking to Fanlore articles because the referenced posts are old and were possibly linked to without permission, to what degree do we investigate link permission on other posts? I.e., can we link freely to someone's meta that has more links inside of it, or do we have to check that all the people further down the rabbit hole also gave permission?). I can also understand the source of some people's discomfort, though, so I'm not 100% sure how I feel. My default assumption is that things publicly posted within fandom are okay to circulate within fandom, unless the author explicitly requests otherwise, so that informs my reaction.
I fall on the side of "linking to a Fanlore article is okay," at least.
