Also, like... it's not like the point of this comm is to link to *Bad* (TM) stuff, or to link to stuff just to ridicule it?

No, it's not, and even if I link to something rant-y, it's only because I think it's interesting and worth sharing. I'm not making a value judgement on anything-- but I can see how people might think otherwise, if they don't know me/don't know the newsletter/aren't sure about what's going on.
