My knee jerk reaction to them banning anyone posting links here is one of disappointment, but I believe the reason they are trying to prevent such things from being posted is because they detract from the conservation and preservation message - their first focus.

In other words: I don't believe USARK is in anyone's pocket. I believe USARK is an incorrect avenue for BOI-style posts (on anyone) to be posted, and that their reaction would be the same regardless of which side was bringing it up. I think they want people viewing their posts to focus on the good of the event, not the person holding it.
