I don't see anything there that applies to the way the Open Wiki Blog
Planet feed list is done, and if it did conflict, as David suggested,
the way to resolve it would be to move the page to another wiki rather
than censor bloggers.

But as John Vandenberg points out in the other thread, the removal had
nothing to do with ArbCom, and we are of course free to decide which
blogs we as a community do and don't want as part of the feed.  It's
my view, though, that we shouldn't feel compelled to remove a blog
because of the policies of English Wikipedia.
