I absolutely saw info (I'm pretty sure it was in comments to a post and not a post on its own) today where someone else also asked that same question and was told the same thing (that linking to unacceptable material was the same as posting it yourself.) (There's a small possibility that it was the same OP that you linked to, discussing the same discussion with LJ staff, but I don't *think* it was. I think it was someone different.)
