So, how bad of an idea is this?

I'm thinking of adding a section to the Links area of my site for Bad otherkin pages.  In other words, pages that I specifically recommend avoiding. Current candidates include:

http://adrastai.com
I would need to write an article to lay out all the problems I have with this site, and I may at some point.

Pretty fucking nuts.  Just crazy.

Any site that seriously talks about an ancient enemy that otherkin are going to have to fight against in the near future is one I have to put in this category.  The oncoming war meme has never been a healthy one in the community.

One of the most vicious troll-pages I've ever seen, but a lot of people unfamiliar with the situation take it seriously.  I've had to correct people about the facts in the otherkin.com forum already.  Might be worth a mention here.

Not sure yet what others.  I'm halfway tempted to dig up the archive.org versions of HOPE's website, HOPE-CORDE's website, and Paranexus's website and add them to this list for historic purposes as well.

So, is this a bad idea that is just going to stir up drama or could it be a useful way to point out some of the worst "resources" to people who may be less familiar with the community and not know good from bad yet?

Continuing Links Project

Does anyone remember if there was a seperate glossary/language-page for the Shiri around anywhere? I keep thinking there was, but I can't find it. Trying to expand the remembered languages links. I feel like there have to be more than threefourfive pages of remembered language in the community. Any non-elven ones too?

Edit: found the Crisses' Kella dictionary.
Edit: remembered the Li'star'i Word List.

Glamourbombing

So, glamourbombing. I'm not a big fan of it personally, it seems like just a flash in a pan to me. Not lasting, not making real change. Just my opinion. But it is a practice that originated in and grew out of the otherkin community. So, here's my question: should I include links to glamourbombing communities in my link section? Is it important for getting a real overview of the otherkin community, both now and historically?
