Those may count as non-hostile, but I also think they'd have pretty much no effect.
Most of the whedonesque linking has been done despite our public freaking out, despite the whedonesque people having been asked about it.
Xander: Hey, Red. What you got in the basket, little girl? Buffy: Weapons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Then can we be petty and run around the net linking them all over the place? Like, where there's porn and stuff?

There isn't a "they" to be petty towards. Plus, they might like it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
When I email Simon directly, he'll remove links. But the problem is, their reason for being is to post news, and people (Joss and Tim) do post big ass news here, from time to time. We can ask our own registered users to not go off and post there. But if Joss comes in and says, "Hey, I'm writing the Buffy movie right now, and it's fucking great!" Then we send him a server bill.
Or something. That's all we can do.

Yup. The most effective (and baby-with-bathwaterish) thing to do would be to stop having news.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Those ingrates. Deactivate the VIPs until they take a freaking breather, already!

It's a pragmatic solution, to be sure.

I need a new tagline.. submissions are accepted.
What if a general big mouth, non-stompy type said it, very nicely?
What if a newbie said it. The reasoning is quite valid.
(I completely understand, you don't need more of me right now. A trickle is OK a gushing waterfall bad.)
