Ashok, Dan, my point goes beyond. I think that by suppressing the link, we not only interfere with the speech of a person, but with the functionality of the web. So the damage goes beyond the freedom of speech for the person linking or expressing an opinion by linking. Imagine e.g. a namespace with a controversial namespace in it.
